Vance questions Iran wedding strike claims, spotlighting a US pattern on civilian harm
TL;DR Summary
US Vice President JD Vance expressed skepticism about reports of a deadly US strike on a wedding in Kuhestak, Iran, insisting that the United States never targets civilians even as he suggested that “things happen.” The piece places his remarks in a broader pattern of officials downplaying civilian harm in warfare, citing past incidents (Minab, Azizabad, Yemen, Afghanistan, Abu Ghraib, My Lai) and watchdogs like Airwars, while noting an ongoing U.S. investigation and Iran’s documentation of the attack.
