US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced an investigation into reports of an attack on a girls’ school in southern Iran. “All I can say is that we are investigating this,” Hegseth said at a press conference on the US military operation against Iran. “Of course we never attack civilian targets.”
The minister was commenting on media reports about an attack on a school on Saturday. More than 160 people were reportedly killed, most of them children. The school is near a Revolutionary Guard facility; However, international media have so far found no evidence of military use of the school building. He did not provide further details about those possibly responsible or the ammunition used.
At the same time, Hegseth criticized the reporting of such incidents. Everything is going successfully and purposefully, “but if a few drones get through or tragic things happen, that’s a headline on page one,” he said, referring to Iran.
