Tehran: The Iranian Embassy in London has accused the United States and its allies of turning wedding celebrations into funerals through military interventions. In a recent post on its X account, the embassy highlighted an attack on a wedding ceremony in Kuhestak, Iran, as the latest in a series of such incidents.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the embassy's statement emphasized that the attack in Kuhestak, located in Sirik, Hormozgan Province, is part of a historical pattern of deadly actions by U.S. forces and their allies at wedding ceremonies in countries like Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan. The embassy's post read, "If you want to turn a wedding into a funeral, leave it to the US terrorist military. They have a long track record of doing exactly that."

The embassy listed several past incidents to support its claim: the July 2002 bombing in Kakarak, Afghanistan, which resulted in over 100 deaths; the September 2003 attack in Fallujah, Iraq, with multiple casualties; and the May 2004 bombing in Anbar Province, Iraq, causing 42 fatalities. Additional incidents included the October 2004 bombing in Fallujah, Iraq, July 2008 in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, and November 2008 in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.

The statement also noted the June 2012 attack in Logar Province, Afghanistan, and the September 2015 bombing in Wahijah, Taiz, Yemen, which was attributed to a U.S.-backed coalition. The most recent attack in September 2026 in Kuhestak, Iran, reportedly resulted in 70 casualties.

The embassy concluded its message by calling for an end to war crimes and the prosecution of those responsible, underscoring the need for accountability in such military actions.
