A US strike hit a rooftop gathering tied to a wedding celebration in the town of Sirik, located in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province. Local reports indicate several people were killed, including at least one child, and dozens more were wounded when the strike tore through the building and left a large crater in the roof. Video verified by international outlets showed extensive structural damage, scattered debris, and a residential block reduced to rubble.
Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the strike as a deliberate attack on civilians rather than a military target, and announced it will formally request that the International Criminal Court investigate the incident as a potential war crime. Iranian officials argue the timing and location point to an attack on a purely civilian gathering with no plausible military justification, while the US military has not detailed the intelligence behind the strike or confirmed the presence of any specific target at the site.
The incident adds to a growing list of civilian-casualty allegations accompanying the broader air campaign inside Iran, prompting rights groups to call for an independent inquiry. This developing story is expected to intensify diplomatic pressure on Washington as fighting continues between the US, Israel, and Iran.
