A US airstrike targeted a wedding ceremony in the town of Kuhestak, located along the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including two women and two children, according to Iranian state media. Over 60 others were reported injured in the attack.

In a separate incident, a teenager was killed by a strike on a nearby communications tower, as reported by NDTV. The US had announced attacks against targets associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards prior to this event.

In response to the airstrike, Ahmad Vahidi, chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, condemned the attack and pledged to avenge the deaths of those killed at the wedding. Reports from multiple sources confirmed this declaration.

A funeral was held for one of the children who lost their life in the strike, with mourners participating in the ceremony. Images of the funeral show a coffin being carried by mourners in remembrance of the young victim.
