When asked about Iranian reports that the US struck a wedding ceremony in Iran on Tuesday, resulting in the death of five people, US Vice President JD Vance said that Washington is investigating what happened but said Iranian state media has “not been a very good scribe about what’s happened in the conflict so far”, Al Jazeera reported.

“I’m extremely sceptical of this, but what I can say with 100 percent confidence, unlike the IRGC, the United States never targets civilians in combat. We never will do that, we never have done that, and unfortunately, obviously, sometimes things happen.”
“We’re investigating it because obviously we care, we want to know, and if we do make mistakes, again this is the big difference between us and Iran – when our military makes mistakes, they learn from them to try to get better from them,” Vance remarked.
