Democrats Demand Investigation into Iran School Strike

0:00It's March 11, here's your global news in two minutes. Nearly every Senate Democrat has signed a letter to defend Secretary Pete Hexeth, calling for a quick investigation into airstrikes that hit a girls. School in Iran. The attack on February 28 killed dozens of children, mostly girls aged 7-12. Investigators think U.S. forces likely carried it out during joint operations with Israel. The letter, backed by 46 Democrats, points out the horrific loss of life in notes that neither the U.S., nor Israel, has owned up to the strike. Pennsylvania Senator John Federman is the only one who did not sign. It demands answers on whether U.S. troops ran the mission, efforts to avoid civilian deaths, and any use of artificial intelligence and targeting. Iran's UN Ambassador claims the broader U.S.-Israeli strikes have killed more than 1,300 civilians. Lawmakers are pressing for details as public outrage grows over the school tragedy and its young victims.

1:00This comes a week after Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan measure to halt the air campaign against Iran and require congressional approval for further action. Every Democrat except Federman supported that effort. Now, Democrats await a White House request for more war funding, with AIDS expecting President Trump to seek around $50 billion. The Defense Department has not commented on the letter yet. This episode is supported by our sponsor. If earbuds fall out when you sleep, this is for you, a pillow with built-in sound.
