Civilians mired in grief after deadly wedding strike on Iran's Makran coast

An attack on a wedding in Kuhestak on Iran’s Makran coast killed at least four people (including a child) and wounded more than 60 around 9:30pm on Sept 1, turning a celebration into tragedy; victims include a 4-year-old and a 16-year-old, with several others still in serious condition in Minab. Residents report internet restrictions and limited access for witnesses to speak with foreign media as families mourn. US Vice-President JD Vance said the US wouldn’t target civilians but that ‘things happen,’ a stance critics say undermines accountability amid the ongoing, tightly watched investigation.
