Senators Demand Release of Pentagon Report on Iran School Airstrike Before Funding Defense Secretary
- Senators are seeking to block Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel funds until the Pentagon submits its investigation into the airstrike on the Minab school in Iran.
- The airstrike, which occurred on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war, killed more than 165 people, many of whom were children, due to outdated intelligence.
- Congress has not yet received the completed Pentagon report on the investigation, which is believed to have been finalized last month.
