US admiral defends missile strike on Iran girls' school, says it was 'complex'

Head of Central Command, US Admiral Brad Cooper, defended a Feb 28 missile strike that hit a girls’ school in Iran, killing 168 children, during a tense congressional hearing on Tuesday (May 19).

After being pressed by the House Armed Services Committee, Cooper said investigations are still ongoing as the operation was “more complex than the average strike”, adding that the school had been “located on an active IRGC cruise missile base”. #iran #usa #usnews
