  "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance has stated that Washington has cut contact with Iran due to ongoing clashes in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Haaretz, Vance also mentioned that China is willing to cooperate with the US in economically isolating Tehran.\n\nThe US is investigating a reported military strike on a wedding in Iran, which resulted in at least four deaths and a dozen other victims, as reported by Middle East Eye. Vance emphasized that the US military does not target civilians and is looking into the incident.\n\nVance has also downplayed the conflict with Iran, stating that he wouldn't categorize it as a \"war\" despite continuing clashes, as reported by Al-Monitor and The Hill. He noted that there is no active shooting at the moment.",
