A group of senior Democratic lawmakers has demanded a thorough investigation into an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that tragically claimed the lives of at least 175 individuals, predominantly children. The senators expressed deep concern over the February 28th attack near Minab, emphasizing the severity of the civilian casualties, if linked to US forces.
The lawmakers highlighted the disturbing nature of the incident, particularly condemning the loss of innocent lives, mainly school children. They also voiced unease over reported remarks by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth regarding military actions, urging a comprehensive review of the strike to uphold military professionalism and accountability.
Emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability, the senators called on the Pentagon to clarify the circumstances surrounding the strike and any potential policy implications. They stressed the need for a thorough and impartial investigation to shed light on the tragic event and ensure accountability for any lapses.
US President Donald Trump, in response to queries about the incident during a press conference, acknowledged the existence of footage suggesting American involvement but stated that he had not yet assessed the evidence. He indicated that the matter was under investigation and noted the widespread use of similar weaponry by various nations.
