  "account": "On Wednesday, Iran's state television reported that a wedding celebration in southern Hormozgan province was hit by three missiles, resulting in at least four deaths and dozens of injuries. The Iranian foreign ministry claimed the attack originated from a U.S. strike, which reportedly killed and wounded around 50 people in a private home in the Sirik district of Hormozgan province. The state TV report estimated the total number of casualties to be just under 70, with six individuals in critical condition. A local fisherman identified as Mr. Malahi confirmed the wedding was his daughter's event, and described one missile crashing through the roof, creating a five-foot crater in the floor. Another missile struck a palm tree and destroyed a wall of the home. The U.S. military has not confirmed or denied reports of an airstrike on a wedding party in southern Iran.",
