The strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, which reportedly killed approximately 120 children and at least 175 people in total, was the worst civilian casualty incident caused by the U.S. military in decades. “More than four months after the strike, and after the reported submission of the investigation in April, Congress and the American people still have not received the Department’s investigation and findings,” the senators wrote . “There is no justification for withholding an unclassified accounting of what happened, what went wrong, and what the Department is doing to prevent recurrence.” “These reported issues, if accurate, raise deeply troubling questions about the integrity of U.S. target development, the adequacy of target validation and vetting procedures, the interoperability of intelligence and targeting databases, the timeliness and reliability of intelligence used for lethal targeting, and the Department’s implementation of civilian harm mitigation policies,” the senators wrote. “They also raise urgent questions about whether the Department has sufficient targeting personnel, training, accountability mechanisms, and technical safeguards to support large-scale conventional operations.” The senators concluded, “The United States military has a legal and moral obligation to take all feasible precautions to prevent civilian harm. When a U.S. strike kills civilians, the Department owes Congress, the American people, and the victims’ families a clear accounting of what happened and a credible plan to prevent future failures.” The full letter can be found HERE . Senator Rosen has demanded more transparency from the Administration regarding the war in Iran and has advocated for the rights of Iranian civilians. She and Senator McCormick (R-PA) have introduced two bills to support internet freedom in Iran, one to support a feasibility study on new technologies and another to expand internet access for Iranian civilians and combat Iran’s human rights abuses, both of which have been passed out of Committee. Earlier this year, following massive protests in Iran, she co-led a letter to the Administration with Senator Lankford (R-OK) and other Senators to express strong, bipartisan support for U.S. programs to help Iranian civilians gain internet access. Senator Rosen has also voted for every War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. troops from Iran since the beginning of the war earlier this year. During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this June, Senator Rosen pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio over his absence from Iran negotiations.
