  "account": "US Vice President JD Vance announced on 3 September that the United States is investigating an airstrike in Iran that targeted a wedding party. The missile hit a home in Sirik, southern Iran, where dozens of people were gathered to celebrate a fisherman's daughter's wedding. Rights groups and Iranian media reported that four people died and nearly 70 were wounded in the attack. Iranian officials stated that a fifth person, a 22-year-old woman, later died in the hospital. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei called the attack a \"war crime,\" accusing the US of attempting to conceal its failure. Videos showed the destroyed building and debris scattered on the ground, while the Iranian Red Crescent Society sent a letter to the International Criminal Court demanding legal action. US Central Command (Centcom) stated it never targets civilians and was aware of the Iranian reports. Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at US targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, and Bahrain.",
  "summary": "If we do make mistakes, again, this is a big difference between us and Iran, when our military makes mistakes, they learn from them to try to get better from them, Vance said.",
