Iran attacks U.S. sites after American strikes and wedding deaths
Latest round of fighting began when Washington hit Iranian targets on Sunday, the first known strikes in several weeks
On Tuesday, a U.S. missile struck a wedding in the southern Iranian coastal town of Kuhestak, killing four people and wounding over 60 others, according to Iranian state media and a rights group. The victims included two women, two children, and one teenager killed by a separate strike on a communications tower nearby. The missile destroyed the home of Ali Mallahi, a local fisherman, and his daughter's wedding celebrations.
The town, located about 30 kilometers from Minab, where over 100 children were killed in a U.S.-led strike on the first day of the conflict, has been a frequent target in recent U.S. bombardments. U.S. Central Command is investigating the reports, but little information is available from the remote area.
