Vance disputes US strike on Iranian wedding; Democrat calls it gaslighting

VP JD Vance expressed skepticism that a US strike killed four at an Iranian wedding, saying 'sometimes things happen,' drawing accusations of gaslighting from Rep. Ro Khanna. The Iranian Red Crescent, a credible source, reported the deaths. This marks a notable US official disputing a reported civilian casualty incident amid US-Iran tensions, though the strike itself is unconfirmed.
