Deadly strike on Iranian wedding was likely a direct hit by a US munition, analysis shows
Weapons experts said images and video show a direct hit from a U.S. munition, as officials review whether the blast killed at least five civilians.
- A U.S. strike hit a house hosting a wedding in Sirik County, Hormozgan province, Iran, killing at least four people including a child and injuring around 50 others, according to Iranian officials and the Red Crescent.
- The attack occurred amid renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, with the U.S. targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guards following alleged recent attacks on commercial shipping and American forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

- The conflict has intensified after a month-long lull, raising concerns about control over the Strait of Hormuz and causing global oil price spikes.
