Searches turned up multiple historical incidents of US or US-linked airstrikes hitting wedding parties, but no single confirmed report matching exactly '18-19 killed' with 'dozens wounded' from a current, active conflict. The most relevant recent event is the June 2025 US strike on Kuhestak, Hormozgan province, Iran, during the US-Israel-Iran conflict, where AP (via a regional outlet) and Middle East Eye reported that the strike on a wedding celebration killed six people (five initially, plus one woman who died later of wounds) and wounded more than 60-68 people, with Iranian emergency services saying 19 of the wounded were children. A 2012 NATO/US airstrike in Logar province, Afghanistan, is separately reported (e.g., by Tehran Times, citing Washington Post) to have killed 18 civilians at a celebration, which is the closest historical match to the '18-19 killed' figure, but that was over a decade ago and not part of a currently active conflict. No Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo item specifically addressing the '18-19 killed' figure was found in the searches conducted (search access was subsequently rate-limited before an exhaustive fact-checker-specific search could be completed).
