Iranian officials report US strike hit wedding celebration in Kuhestak, killing five civilians

Iranian state media and the Red Crescent reported that a U.S. airstrike hit a residential home hosting a wedding ceremony in Kuhestak, Sirik County, killing at least five people and injuring more than 50 during U.S. strikes in southern Iran.

Why this matters. Civilian casualties inside Iran escalate diplomatic pressure and increase the risk of expanded retaliatory strikes against regional bases.
