US probes Iran wedding strike that analysis shows was likely direct hit by US munition
Reuters analysts said the strike was likely a direct U.S. munition hit, while Iranian officials reported five deaths and nearly 70 wounded.
- On Friday, Vice President Vance said the United States is investigating a deadly strike on an Iranian wedding earlier this week, as Reuters and weapons experts indicated the damage was consistent with a direct hit by a U.S. munition.
- An explosion ripped through a wedding celebration in Kuhestak, Sirik County, on Tuesday, killing five people and wounding nearly 70, with Iranian state media reporting victims included a 22-year-old woman and a 4-year-old child.
- The U.S. military stated it "never targets civilians" while examining if the strike involved a U.S. munition or ricochet, and Vance added that the U.S. is investigating because "we care."
- Rising oil prices to over $96 a barrel for Brent crude futures mark a fourth straight day of increases, as President Donald Trump faces intensified domestic pressure regarding the war ahead of midterm elections.
- Regional mistrust remains high following a missile strike six months ago that killed more than 175 children and teachers at a primary school, complicating current verification efforts as officials navigate electoral concerns.
