Iran claims US strike hit a wedding ceremony, calling it a war crime
Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a U.S. strike in Kuhestak Tuesday evening hit a wedding ceremony, describing it as a war crime.
"These barbaric war crimes, which constitute a gross violation of the fundamental principles of international law," the ministry said in a statement.
The Iranian Red Crescent said at least four people were killed and 67 others were injured in the alleged attack.
U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said Wednesday the U.S. is now looking into the reports.
"We’re aware of the reports, which originated from Iranian state media and we are looking into them. The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC," Hawkins said.
Earlier Tuesday evening, Hawkins had said CENTCOM is aware of the reports, but had not said it is looking into it.
