📸 New York Times: Wedding night in Kohestak; guests under the rubble of an American bomb 🔹The New York Times reported: On a night that was supposed to be a celebration of love and joy, a bomb identified by experts as an American Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) fell over the home of the Molahi family in the city of Kohestak, southern Iran. 🔹Video footage and bomb remnants by the New York Times and weapons expert Terror Bal show that this weapon is of the JSOW type, exclusively used by U.S. forces. 🔹The Central Command of the United States (CENTCOM) confirmed airstrikes on military targets in the area but denied any deliberate targeting of civilians, yet refrained from commenting on the wedding attack. 🔹Witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound from the sea, followed by a massive explosion that engulfed everything. A local photographer said that the bomb hit the women’s section, which is why most of the victims are women and children. 🔹This attack marks the fourth deadly event reported by the Times in which U.S. attacks on civilian structures in Iran have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians.
