Iran hits US targets as Washington says its probing wedding strike
Iran said it hit US military bases in Kuwait and the UAE on Thursday, vowing to avenge a wedding attack it blamed on Washington as US Vice President JD Vance said the strike was being investigated.
On September 4, the United States is probing a deadly strike on a wedding in Iran that an analysis published by Reuters suggests was likely a direct hit by a U.S. munition. According to weapons experts who reviewed images and video verified by Reuters, the explosion that occurred in southern Iran likely resulted from a direct hit rather than a ricochet off another target.
The United States has not accepted responsibility for the incident, which came six months after a missile destroyed a primary school, killing over 175 children and teachers. Iranian officials reported that five people were killed and nearly 70 were wounded in the attack.
