US probes Iran wedding strike that analysis shows was likely direct hit by US munition
By Nilo Tabrizy, Edward Carron, Idrees Ali and George Sargent Sept 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that the United States was investigating a deadly strike on an Iranian wedding earlier this week that an analysis published by Reuters showed likely resulted from a direct hit by a U.S. munition.
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.
