Vance: US investigating strike on Iran wedding 'very fully'

US Vice President JD Vance told reporters on Thursday that the US is "very fully" investigating the military's reported strikes on a wedding in Iran which killed at least four people this week. There were at least a dozen other victims along the southern coast of Iran after the US unleashed a barrage of attacks in one of the largest flare-ups since the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the two sides more than two months ago. "I've been briefed to the extent that I know that we're investigating," Vance said during the White House briefing.
