Iran Says US Strike Hit Wedding in Sirik, Vows ‘Firm Response’

Iran said the strike killed at least 5 people and wounded 63 others, including many women and children, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Iran accused the United States of bombing a house during a wedding in Kuhestak, Sirik, killing at least five people, including a child.
  • Following attempted attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States military announced a wave of strikes against "Iranian military targets."
  • Reza Shahidiyan, governor of Sirik, reported 63 people were wounded with 50 victims being women and children, while explosions also struck Konarak, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island.
