Four weapons experts who reviewed images and video verified by Reuters said the Sept. 1 explosion at a wedding in Kuhestak, which killed four people and injured at least 68, was consistent with a direct hit rather than a ricochet; three said the munition was likely American rather than an errant Iranian air-defense missile.

Why it matters

The findings bear on the investigation Vice President Vance said the U.S. had opened; the U.S. military said it was aware of the reports and looking into them.
