Iran News | Pete Hegseth Refuses To Answer Questions On Iran School Strike

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says U.S. Central Command has designated an officer to lead the investigation into a deadly U.S. strike on an elementary school in Iran. The strike on the school in the opening hours of the U.S. war in Iran killed more than 165 people, many of them children. The Associated Press has reported that outdated intelligence likely led to the strike. Speaking a media briefing Friday, Hegseth wouldn’t answer questions about what led to the strike, but said the U.S. does not target civilians. He said the investigation will take “as long as necessary.” “We'll get to the truth and we'll share it when we have it,” Hegseth said. He said the investigating officer was chosen from outside Central Command, which oversees the Middle East.
