Nearly all U.S. Senate Democrats sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanding a “swift investigation” into airstrikes on a girls’ school in Iran that killed dozens of children. Signed by 46 senators, the letter says most victims were girls aged 7–12 and notes that neither the U.S. nor Israel has claimed responsibility. Lawmakers asked whether U.S. forces carried out the strike, what steps the military takes to prevent civilian casualties, and whether AI tools were used in the operation.
