Iran Says US Strike Hit Wedding Gathering in Kuhestak, Killing Civilians; CENTCOM 'Looking Into' Claim

Iran said a US strike hit a wedding celebration in the coastal town of Kuhestak, Hormozgan province, on September 1, accusing Washington of a 'war crime.' Iranian Red Crescent and state media reported 4-5 people killed, including a child, and 63-71 wounded, with injured civilians shown at a hospital in nearby Minab. US Central Command said it was 'looking into' the report but said the US military 'never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC.' The claim remains disputed and unconfirmed by independent investigators.
