Civilians killed as US strike hits wedding in Iran, with conflicting casualty details

TL;DR Summary
An airstrike attributed to the United States hit a wedding in Iran, killing civilians and wounding dozens. Iran then reported broader military losses in the same attacks (four IRGC members and ten Basij), while a 16-year-old was said to have been killed by shrapnel near a communications tower rather than at the wedding. An analyst suggested the weapon was an American air-delivered guided munition, though US Central Command declined to comment. The incident underscores rising tensions between the US and Iran.
