On 3 September 2026, the United States conducted military strikes on Iranian targets in southern Iran. A US missile struck a wedding gathering in Sirik, Hormozgan province.

Not yet confirmed against a primary source
- Confirm the casualty figures for the wedding strike itself: aljazeera.com reports 67 wounded; middleeasteye.net and taipeitimes.com report 50 or 'more than 50.' Was there an official update, or do these reflect different sources or definitions?
- Confirm whether Iran's Health Ministry statement (reported by middleeasteye.net as '18 people and 142 injured') refers to the total of all recent US strikes, or specifically to the wedding incident and follow-up incidents. Cbc.ca reports the same 18-person figure but 108 injured; middleeasteye reports 142.
- Confirm the precise time of the wedding strike: aljazeera.com specifies 9:30pm local time (18:00 GMT) on Tuesday; other outlets refer to 'Wednesday' when discussing the Iranian response, which reflects the day-crossing from the attack occurring late Tuesday to Wednesday responses.
