Bizarre denial from Trump on the Iran school tragedy—Democrats aren’t holding back

Senate Democrats are really pushing the Pentagon for answers after a school in Iran was bombed, killing over 100 children. This week, a group of 46 senators, mostly Democrats, sent a letter directly to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, demanding a swift investigation into the strike and public release of the findings.

The incident occurred on February 28. A girls’ school near a naval base in Minab was hit during what was reportedly the first wave of US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Over 100 children died in that attack, with US officials stating they’re looking into it. The senators highlighted in their letter that the majority of those killed were girls between the ages of 7 and 12 years old.
