US Probes Strike That Hit Iranian Wedding

The opening day of the war launched by the US and Israel. A US Tomahawk missile hits a primary school in Minab, about 18 miles from Kuhestak, killing more than 100 children, Time reported.

A barrage of explosions shakes Kuhestak, a coastal town on the Strait of Hormuz. Residents told the AP the blasts lit up the night sky. One strike tears a hole in the roof of a room at the Mallahi compound where women were about to be served dinner; another topples a communications tower roughly 100 meters away.

US Central Command reports strikes on military targets that night, listing "air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine laying capabilities, and communications sites."

Iranian media report four dead and at least 68 injured. The Hormozgan provincial telecommunications department says US attacks disrupted landline and mobile service in several locations, including Kuhestak.

CENTCOM says it is looking into reports of the incident, while arguing the "U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the" Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Iranian Red Crescent Society writes to the International Criminal Court asking for an "independent, impartial, thorough, and effective investigation."

Funeral and burial ceremonies are held in Kuhestak. Iranian state television says a 22-year-old woman among the wounded has died in hospital, raising the reported toll to five.

Vance tells reporters the US is investigating: "We're investigating it because obviously we care. We want to know."

An AP team makes a rare visit to Kuhestak and finds posters of four of the dead on lampposts at the town entrance: a 4-year-old boy, a 16-year-old and two women. Axios reports that CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper has ordered an internal review of the strike. Mobile phone and data service are back up.
