Iranian Officials Say Four Killed, 50 Wounded at Wedding in U.S. Strike

Officials in Iran's Hormozgan Province said missile shrapnel struck a home during a wedding in Kuhestak, Sirik County, killing four people, including a child, and wounding more than 50. Deputy Governor Ahmad Nafisi initially reported two deaths and 50 wounded, while the provincial Red Crescent later raised the toll. Fifteen ambulances were dispatched, rubble removal was completed, and patients were treated at the scene or transferred to Minab hospital. CENTCOM confirmed U.S. strikes on IRGC targets but had not commented on Iran's account of the wedding strike or casualties.
