Vance Says US 'Investigating Very Fully' Kuhestak Wedding Strike as Death Toll Rises to 5, Voices Skepticism

US Vice President JD Vance told reporters the US military is investigating the Sept 1 strike on a wedding gathering in Kuhestak 'very fully,' as Iran's reported death toll rose to five. Vance said 'the Iranian state media has not been a very good scribe about what's happened in the conflict thus far, so I'm extremely skeptical of this,' while insisting 'the United States never targets civilians in combat. We never will do that.' He also declined to call the six-month conflict a 'war.' Iran's Red Crescent has asked the ICC to investigate; Iran's UN envoy called the strike 'a grave violation' of international humanitarian law.
