‘Things happen’: How Vance’s comment on Iran wedding strike fits US pattern

US Vice President JD Vance expressed skepticism about reports of a US attack that killed four people at a wedding in Kuhestak, Iran, on September 2, 2026. He stated that the US never targets civilians in combat and that an investigation would be conducted.
