The strike
hit a residential home hosting a wedding in Kuhestak village, Sirik County,
southern Iran's Hormozgan province, killing at least five people—including
4-year-old Amir Mohammad Karimi, 16-year-old Mohammad Mollahi, 50-year-old
Zarkhatoon Taheri, and 43-year-old Kulsoom Mollahi Najjand—and wounding dozens,
mostly women and children treated at Minab Hospital.
US Central Command said the strikes targeted
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites in response to Iranian actions in the
Strait of Hormuz and insisted no civilians were aimed at, while Iranian
officials condemned it as an attack on a civilian celebration. Reports noted
concurrent power outages and rising tensions, with the death toll expected to
climb amid disputed accounts from both sides.
