Senate Democrats demand Pentagon release findings on Iran school strike investigation
The senators want an unclassified report and corrective plan after Reuters said an initial military inquiry found U.S. forces were likely responsible.
- On Monday, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand led a group of senators calling on President Donald Trump's administration to disclose findings from a military investigation into the February 28 strike at an Iranian girls' school within one week.

- President Trump has cast doubt on military responsibility, remarking on June 24, 'I don't think it was us,' despite lawmakers' calls for transparency and accountability.
- Lawmakers assert the Department owes victims' families a clear accounting, insisting the military has a legal and moral obligation to take all feasible precautions preventing future civilian harm.
