At a wedding in Iran, where families had gathered to celebrate new beginnings, a technical investigation has now confirmed what earlier accounts sought to obscure: a United States munition struck the venue directly, killing civilians. The finding moves the incident from the realm of disputed claims into established fact, and with that shift comes the full weight of accountability — for how the target was chosen, what protections were absent, and what this means for the fragile architecture of restraint that governs armed conflict.
