The US military launched attacks on many parts of southern Iran on September 1, affecting the site of a wedding ceremony in Hormozgan province, causing a large number of casualties. According to a report by the US “Washington Post” on September 6, the incident may have been caused by a US military bomb that deviated from its original target. A US official said that the target of the US military's air strike in the region was a communications facility. According to people familiar with the matter, a small communication tower at the facility is located in a civilian area, only about 134 meters from the wedding site. US warplanes dropped 6 bombs to hit the tower, and one of them seemed to have missed its target. The report also said that US officials are also evaluating other possible causes of the wedding attack, including the possible fall of an anti-aircraft missile, but people familiar with the matter and weapons experts believe this is extremely unlikely.
