Description
The Trump administration is facing accusations that it's failing to protect civilians in its bombardment of Iran, as the military investigates a strike on an Iranian school, which left more than 160 people dead - most of them children.
The New York Times yesterday reported that an ongoing military investigation has determined the US was responsible for the strike, citing US officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings.
Last year, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth scrapped initiatives aimed at reducing civilian harm in military operations - including programs designed to track and investigate civilian casualties.
