The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has written to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, denouncing US strikes that reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in southern Iran.
In its letter, the Red Crescent says four people, including one child, were killed as a result of the air strike. A further 67 people are injured, it adds.
The IRCS says the strike took place around 21:30 local time (19:00 BST) on Tuesday, when a wedding ceremony was under way in Kuhestak, Sirik county.
"Given the critical condition of some of the injured, the number of fatalities may increase," it adds in a statement shared on Telegram.
As the wedding was a civilian event, the IRCS says it raises concerns under international humanitarian law and "warrants an independent, impartial, thorough, and effective investigation".
