  "account": "A wedding party in Kuhestak, southern Iran, was hit by an explosion on Monday, killing four people and injuring at least 68, according to human rights groups. Experts analysing verified images and videos suggest the blast was likely caused by US-made ammunition. US President JD Vance said the incident is being investigated, while the US military said it is reviewing reports. The US military conducted air strikes on a communications tower in the area on September 1, about 135 meters from the wedding party location. Israel also announced plans to release five Lebanese citizens detained by the Israeli army in southern Lebanon.",
