- At least four people were killed and 68 injured when a missile struck a wedding gathering in Iran’s Hormozgan province late on September 1, according to reports citing Iranian media.
At least four people were killed and 68 injured in a missile strike on a wedding gathering in southern Iran late on September 1, 2026, according to reports citing Iranian media.
The wedding was being held at a private home in Kuhestak, in Hormozgan province. Reports said a residential building and a telecommunications tower were struck overnight amid a renewed exchange of attacks involving Iran and the United States around the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran accused the United States of carrying out the strike and described it as a war crime. That allegation is attributed to Iranian authorities; the available source material did not include an independent confirmation from the United States.
The incident has intensified concerns that the latest attacks could broaden hostilities in the region.
