Details of strike near wedding in Iran: 5 dead, including child
The strike hit the Kuhestak area in Sirik district, Hormozgan province — southern coast near the Strait of Hormuz. Among the five killed was a four-year-old child. Most of the 68 injured are women and children.
Iran calls this a direct attack on civilians. CENTCOM responds differently: targets were IRGC facilities, "we never target civilians." Reports indicate a telecommunications node was hit nearby. The wedding venue reportedly suffered damage from shrapnel or blast wave, not as a separate aiming point.
Iranian media report identifying remnants of a Boeing SLAM-ER cruise missile. Independent verification of this identification is not yet available.
