Evidence

The claim is vague and unattributed, not tied to a specific date, location, or named conflict. A search for matching reports turned up only a Tehran Times opinion/propaganda piece recounting a history of alleged US strikes on wedding celebrations (citing incidents in Afghanistan, Yemen, and a 2026-dated claim about Iran), but none of the deaths tolls or dates in that piece cleanly match the '18-19 killed' figure in the claim as stated. No results from Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo addressing this specific death toll and wording were found. Repeated attempts to run additional targeted searches (for a matching dated incident, casualty figures, or an existing fact-check) were blocked by tool-usage limits in this session, so the search coverage achieved was limited to a single search pass.
