As the "Washington Post" reported on Sunday, citing a individual acquainted with the details of the operation, the American rocket likely hit a direct wedding in Iran last week, straying from the designated course.
The incidental occurred in Kuhestak, Hormozgan Province, during a fresh wave of raids conducted by the United States on Tuesday.
1 of the missiles hit the home where the wedding was held, killing at least 5 people and wounding nearly 70.
Iran's authorities reported that the victims were 3 women and 2 children aged 4 and sixteen.
By "Washington Post" The detonation at the organization was most likely the consequence of a direct hit by an American missile.
The U.S. Navy dropped six bombs rushing into a telecommunications tower in this town;
all but 1 have hit the target. A stray bullet missed the tower and hit a home about 135 metres (440 ft).
According to the origin of the newspaper, the telecommunications tower was the only mark set in this village during Tuesday's strikes, which excludes the anticipation of deliberately attacking the home or confusing it with another object.
These reports are in line with erstwhile information from the AP Agency, ‘New York Times’, Reuters and another media, indicating that the wedding was hit by an American weapon directed – most likely a JSOW glide bomb – alternatively than debris or defective anti-aircraft rocket launched by the Iranian side.
U.S. Vice president J.D. Vance stated on Thursday that Washington was investigating the circumstances of the incident.
“We are investigating due to that, of course.
We want to know the truth” – told journalists.
The American military maintains that it does not mark the civilian population and does not admit to carrying out this attack.
The attack on wedding reception is another of a series of incidents in which a large number of civilians suffered during the ongoing conflict in the mediate East.
On the first day of the war between the US and Israel and Iran, US forces hit the primary school in Minab, killing 175 people, mostly young girls.
At least 21 civilians were killed in Lamerd that day, about a 3rd of whom were children.
Tehran has repeatedly accused the U.S. of committing war crimes during the conflict, informing about any 3,000 civilian casualties since it began in late February.
