US strike on a wedding in Kuhestak: five dead, and a split between denial and inquiry
Current information picture
On the night of 1 September 2026 a house hosting a wedding in Kuhestak, Hormozgan province, was hit during a wave of US strikes along the Strait of Hormuz; the Iranian Red Crescent first reported four dead and more than 50 wounded, later five dead and some 60–70 wounded. The 14 outlets examined largely share the numbers and quotations; they split on whether the attribution to American munitions is a claim, an evidence-based finding, or a proven crime.
