US Vice President Vance doubts Iran's claim of wedding missile strike

Vice President JD Vance said on 4 September that he doubts Iran's account of a missile strike that hit a wedding in Kuhestak, Iran, and noted that U. S. officials have opened an investigation into the incident. Iran's foreign ministry had earlier accused the United States of carrying out the strike on 3 September, describing it as a war crime that killed four civilians, including children, at a wedding in Sirik county, Hormozgan Province.

The Iranian Red Crescent asked the International Criminal Court to investigate, while the United States said it does not target civilians and was reviewing the incident. Iran later held a funeral for the victims and launched missiles and drones at a U. S. base in Kuwait.
