The United States is investigating whether a missile was involved in a deadly incident at a wedding ceremony in Iran, Vance has said.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society said shrapnel from a missile struck the ceremony on Tuesday, killing four people. The organisation, known as the IRCS, reported the deaths but no further details were provided in the supplied material about the victims or the exact location of the wedding.
The account indicates that the ceremony was not described as being directly hit by a missile, but by shrapnel from one. It is not clear from the available information what type of missile was involved, who launched it, or what the intended target may have been.
Vance’s comments indicate that the matter is under examination by the US. The supplied information does not include any further statement from US officials on the scope of the investigation or when findings may be made public.
The latest known position is that the IRCS has reported four deaths from missile shrapnel at the ceremony, while the US is investigating whether a missile was involved in the incident.
