Iran accuses US of war crime over deadly strike on wedding
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, has accused the US of committing a war crime following a reported deadly strike that hit a wedding party in southern Iran.
In a post on X, he said: “The truth of this unlawful war of choice – and the true face of the war crime – is in Sirik, where a wedding ceremony was brutally bombed as part of America’s desperate struggle to conceal its failure, not in AI-generated videos portraying American officials as triumphant heroes.”
Iranian media has published more images from the site of the attack, as seen in the newswire pictures below:
