US Central Command has assigned investigators to look into an attack on an all-girls elementary school in Iran that killed about 180 people, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.

“The command investigation will take as long as necessary to address all the matters surrounding this incident,” Hegseth told a press conference Friday.
