JD Vance says US military "never targets civilians in combat" amid review of deadly strike in Iran
“never targets civilians in combat”
Reported September 7, 2026 by aol.com. Checked word for word against that report.
A U.S. military operation on Tuesday night near Iran’s southern coast produced an explosion that hit a home where a wedding was being held, killing at least four people—including two children—and wounding dozens, according to Iranian officials. Pentagon officials are examining the incident, and a source said six bombs were dropped, with one deviating from the intended telecommunications target and striking the residence. Vice President JD Vance said the administration is conducting a review, noted that errors are addressed, and asserted that American forces do not deliberately aim at non‑combatants. Iranian authorities have asked for an independent investigation by the International Criminal Court.
