US Admiral Brad Cooper testifies before Congress on Iran war

The US military investigation into a blast at a girls' school in Iran is "complex" given that it was located on an active Iranian cruise missile site, US Admiral Brad Cooper, head of Central Command, testified on Tuesday (May 19) before Congress. "The school itself is located on an active IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) cruise missile base. It's more complex than the average strike. As soon as we're complete, I'm fully committed to transparency," Cooper told the House Armed Services Committee. The incident took place on Feb 28 on the first day of the conflict and killed 168 children, mostly ⁠girls, Iranian officials say.
