"The New York Times reported that newly surfaced video appears to show a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile striking near the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab during the first wave of the U.S.-Israeli campaign known as Operation Epic Fury. The strike killed 175 people, many of them children, according to Iranian state media."

"In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday, Hegseth declined to answer questions on the strike and said that the Pentagon was investigating, but insisted that the U.S. military would never target civilians."

"My point that I want to get back to is there is a level of competence that the American public is thirsting for that they are not getting from Pete Hegseth."

The New York Times reported newly surfaced video showing the strike during Operation Epic Fury. Hegseth declined to answer questions during a 60 Minutes interview, citing an ongoing Pentagon investigation while asserting the military never targets civilians. Panelist Bakari Sellers criticized Hegseth's lack of transparency and competence, contrasting him unfavorably with former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Conservative pundit Scott Jennings defended Hegseth's military service record, while Sellers argued the American public deserves greater accountability and competence from Pentagon leadership.
