Vance’s ‘things happen’ remark fuels backlash amid Iran wedding airstrike
US Vice President JD Vance drew backlash by saying 'things happen' when asked if an American strike killed four, including a child, at a wedding in southern Iran amid a widening US‑Iran confrontation; Iran accuses the US of war crimes and casualty figures are reported by Iran's Red Crescent. Vance defended US targeting practices, while Democrats criticized the remark as misleading. The strike near Kuhestak reportedly killed four and wounded more than 50, as Washington screens for accountability in a broader campaign of strikes on Iranian military assets.
