TL;DR Summary

U.S. Central Command has ordered an internal review into a reported civilian casualty at a wedding in Iran amid ongoing strikes; Iranian officials say five people were killed and 67 wounded, but it’s not yet confirmed that a U.S. strike caused the blast. The investigation will examine drone footage and target-identification procedures and also consider the possibility that an errant Iranian munition caused the damage. The incident ranks among the war’s more significant civilian casualty events since it began, which included an early-day strike that hit a school and killed about 150 people, mostly children; U.S. officials emphasize the military does not target civilians.
