"To be clear, the war against Iran is a war of choice without Congressional authorization, they wrote. Nonetheless, as these military actions continue, the United States and Israel must abide by U.S. and international law, including the law of armed conflict."
"The letter from 46 senators to Secretary Pete Hegseth calls on Pentagon officials to conduct a swift investigation into the strikes on this school and any other potential U.S. military actions causing civilian harm, and the findings must be released to the public as soon as possible, along with any measures to pursue accountability."
"The New York Times reported earlier in the day that an ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school."
Nearly all Senate Democrats sent a letter to Secretary Pete Hegseth demanding swift investigation and public release of findings regarding a U.S. military strike on an Iranian girls' elementary school that resulted in at least 168 deaths. The letter emphasizes that while military actions continue without Congressional authorization, the United States and Israel must comply with U.S. and international law, including armed conflict regulations. The Pentagon confirmed the incident is under investigation. The New York Times reported that military investigation determined U.S. responsibility for a Tomahawk missile strike. The lawmakers' letter requests answers about whether the U.S. conducted the strike, intended targets, compliance with war crime prevention rules, no-strike list procedures, civilian harm prevention measures, and use of artificial intelligence in Iranian operations.
