  "account": "During a CBS News town hall, Joey Amor, whose wife Nicole was among the first American service members killed in the U.S.-Iran conflict, urged Vice President JD Vance not to overlook the \"fundamental failures\" that led to her death. Nicole Amor, a member of the U.S. Army Reserve, was one of six people killed when an Iranian drone attacked a Kuwaiti outpost on March 1, 2020, just a day after the U.S. initiated strikes on Iran. This remains the deadliest attack on American forces during the Iran war. Joey Amor's questions about the attack's causes and the administration's plans to hold accountable those responsible came during a CBS Evening News town hall with anchor Tony Dokoupil. Vice President Vance acknowledged the family's pain, stating that he wants to know about any failures that may have occurred. He promised to investigate the incident and promised changes to prevent similar tragedies in the future.",
