The Iranian Red Crescent says they were killed when shrapnel from a US missile hit a house in southern Iran - Iranian media initially said five people had died
The US military says it is aware of the reports but that it never targets civilians, and was striking Iranian targets in response to "recent attempted" Iranian attacks
