Iran attacks US targets in Middle East after four reportedly killed at wedding celebration

The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has written to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, denouncing US strikes that reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in southern Iran.

In its letter, the Red Crescent says four people, including one child, were killed as a result of the air strike. A further 67 people are injured, it adds.

The IRCS says the strike took place around 21:30 local time (19:00 BST) on Tuesday, when a wedding ceremony was under way in Kuhestak, Sirik county.

"Given the critical condition of some of the injured, the number of fatalities may increase," it adds in a statement shared on Telegram.

As the wedding was a civilian event, the IRCS says it raises concerns under international humanitarian law and "warrants an independent, impartial, thorough, and effective investigation".
