In Iranian town, a wedding shattered by deadly strike during US air attack

As US forces targeted Iran’s coastal infrastructure, explosions tore through a home where guests had gathered to celebrate

A US missile hit a home in southern Iran where dozens were gathered to celebrate the wedding of a fisherman’s daughter, according to a rights group and Iranian media.

Iranian state media said four people – two women and two children – were killed and more than 60 were wounded. The rights group said one of the children, a teenager, was killed by another strike on a nearby communications tower.

US Central Command spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins said the US military was looking into the reports of the strike on a wedding. He would not say if the military had launched a formal investigation.
