Hasan Piker Argues U.S. Actions Are Deadlier Than Al-Qaeda

Pentagon edges toward final Iran school strike probe, amid transparency push from lawmakers

Senior U.S. military officials are near completing an internal probe into the deadly airstrike on an Iranian elementary school in Minab and preparing to brief lawmakers, even as Congress worries the results may be classified. CENTCOM says the review is nearly done, while critics point to a lack of disclosure and a pledge of transparency by the service’s leadership. Preliminary findings cited outdated intelligence and indicated a U.S. munition was likely responsible for the attack that killed more than 170 people, mostly children; lawmakers have also pressed for details on whether AI or other technologies influenced target selection, and whether the report will be released publicly.
