American Vice President JD Vance confirmed on Thursday, September 3, that the United States was investigating a strike against a wedding in Iran, which left four people dead according to the Iranians, but said he was "skeptical". "I would say that the Iranian state media has not really reported reliably on what has happened in this conflict so far, so I am extremely skeptical about that," he told reporters in response to a question about the strike, adding that the United States was still conducting "a thorough investigation."

That is to say, to bring down this regime".

#MIDDLE EAST Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu estimated that the fall of Iranian power was "within reach", during a meeting with security officials, filmed and broadcast by his office. Asserting that the "Iranian regime is fighting for its survival," he said that he believes Israel has "the capacity to eliminate this threat once and for all. That is, to bring down this regime. This is the main mission that remains for us, but it is close, not impossible, within reach."
