Pentagon Pete’s Tame Press Corps Blasted for Failing to Ask Big Question

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has sidestepped questions about Donald Trump’s ever-shifting stories over a strike on an elementary school in Iran that reportedly killed 175 civilians, most of them children.

The incident has drawn international scrutiny and political pressure on the administration, with Trump claiming on Sunday that Iran was responsible for the strike—despite video analysis and satellite imagery suggesting the blast was likely caused by an American Tomahawk missile targeting a nearby Revolutionary Guard facility.
