  "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance held a White House press briefing, the first since Karoline Leavitt departed as press secretary, according to CBS News. During the briefing, Vance addressed the US response to an alleged airstrike in Iran that reportedly hit a wedding party. He stated that the US is investigating the incident.\n\nVance also discussed US-Iran relations, stating that the US will not engage in talks with Iran unless Tehran stops attacking commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that Iran must stop these attacks, saying \"it's that simple\".\n\nThere was no mention of the midterm elections in the reports. The briefing was Vance's first in the role, following the departure of the previous press secretary.",
