‘That sound follows me’: Survivors recall 'horrific' US strike on Iranian wedding

A family home in Kuhestak, a southern Iranian coastal town, was struck by an explosion during a US bombardment on a Tuesday evening, killing four people and injuring dozens. The blast came while a wedding celebration was underway, with women and children gathered inside the house waiting for the bride and groom. The US vice president stated that the incident was being thoroughly investigated and affirmed that the US "never targets civilians in combat."

The death toll is currently five, with at least 60 people wounded. Witnesses described the chaos and fear that followed the blast, with one recalling the sound of the building collapsing and voices of the women who were ululating suddenly fading.
