Did a U.S. strike hit a wedding in Iran?

Yes. Iranian officials and media say a U.S. missile struck a private home in Kuhestak (Sirik County, Hormozgan province) on the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday night, Sept. 1–2, 2026 local time, while a wedding was underway. State media and the Iranian Red Crescent reported at least four dead — including a 4-year-old and a 16-year-old — and about 67–68 people wounded.

U.S. Central Command said it was aware of the civilian-casualty reports (noting they came via Iranian state media) and that the U.S. military never targets civilians. Centcom described the overnight strikes as aimed at Iranian military targets such as air defenses, radars, and maritime assets. Independent reporting from AP and other outlets confirmed the location and casualty figures as reported by Iranian authorities.
