Vance Says ‘Sometimes Things Happen’ After US Accused of Killing Five in Wedding Strike

When asked about whether a US strike was responsible for the deaths, Vance said “sometimes things happen”. He said: I will say that the Iranian state media has not been a very good scribe about what’s happened in the conflict thus far, so I’m extremely sceptical of this. The toll was confirmed not by the Iranian government but by the Iranian Red Crescent, a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

What I can say with 100% confidence is that, unlike the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] IRGC, the United States never targets civilians in combat, Vance said. We never will do that. We never have done that, and unfortunately, obviously, sometimes things happen. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump insisted he had done the right thing with the war.
