Following the strike, Tehran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at US interests in the Middle East. Meanwhile, 13 Iranian ballistic missiles entered Jordanian airspace.
The new escalation in the clashes has also placed considerable pressure on energy markets. The price of natural gas in Europe rose to its highest level in the past three years.
According to the Red Crescent, missile debris following a US strike fell on a residence in the city of Kuhestak, in the Shirik district of Hormuzgan province, where the wedding ceremony was taking place.
Iranian authorities have posted a video on social media showing extensive damage and missile fragments at the suspected site of the US strike, while screams can be heard in the background.
