"The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live. No one's putting us in danger, we're putting the other guys in danger. That's our job."
"Unlike our adversaries, the Iranians, we never target civilians. However, a girls' school bombing on the first day of the attacks killed 175 people, most of whom were children, which neither the U.S. nor Iran has claimed responsibility for, though military investigators believe the U.S. is responsible."
Following ten days of U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran, casualty reports indicate 1,255 deaths with predominantly civilian victims. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered inflammatory rhetoric in a 60 Minutes interview, stating that Iranians should fear for their lives and asserting that the military's role is to endanger adversaries rather than face danger themselves. Hegseth claimed the U.S. does not target civilians, yet a girls' school bombing on the first day of attacks killed 175 people, mostly children. Military investigators reportedly believe the U.S. was responsible for this attack, though the Trump administration attributed responsibility to Iran, creating contradictions in official statements.
