U.S. May Have Mistakenly Hit Wedding Party in Iran

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance acknowledged that American forces may have accidentally hit civilians amid reports that a wedding party in southern Iran came under attack.

Iranian authorities said a wedding ceremony in Sirik, Hormozgan, on Tuesday night was targeted, killing five people and injuring about 70 others. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei called the attack “heinous” and said it struck a civilian residence in Kuhestak early Wednesday.

“

The U.S. has never targeted civilians in combat. We would never do that. We could not do that. But unfortunately, clearly, something may have happened.

The reports prompted Vance to address the possibility of a military error. “The U.S. has never targeted civilians in combat. We would never do that. We could not do that. But unfortunately, clearly, something may have happened,” he said.

Vance added that the United States was investigating the incident. “When our military makes mistakes, they learn from those mistakes so they can improve themselves,” he said. Iran’s Press TV also reported that at least five people were killed.
