U.S. military investigating airstrike that killed at least 5 in Iran wedding ceremony. Iranian state media reports a 22-year-old woman died in hospital after attack on home during wedding. U.S. officials deny targeting civilians.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. is investigating the incident. Vance said the U.S. military is looking into whether the strike was caused by a U.S. weapon or an errant Iranian missile. Iranian officials said nearly 70 were wounded in the attack.
The incident comes six months after a missile strike that killed over 175 children and teachers in an Iranian school. The U.S. has not publicly released findings of its internal investigation into that strike. The conflict has caused oil prices to rise to levels not seen since July.
Iran has launched attacks on U.S. bases in multiple countries in response to the alleged strike. Iranian state media reported 67 people were hurt when shrapnel from the missile hit a family wedding ceremony, killing at least four people.
