President Trump claimed Iran was responsible for striking an elementary school in Minab, an assertion disputed by current and former defense officials, including his own Defense Secretary. Evidence, including satellite imagery and missile analysis, suggests the attack, which killed many children, was carried out with munitions exclusively used by the U.S. and Israel, with the school likely hit due to target misidentification. U.S. Central Command stated it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation, while experts point to the precision and trajectory of the strike as signatures of American or Israeli weaponry, not Iranian.

President Trump indicated that any decision to end the war with Iran would be a mutual one made in conjunction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing their collaborative efforts in countering Iran’s alleged threats to Israel.

When questioned about reports of a girls’ school being hit during joint Israeli-U.S. strikes in Iran, President Trump dismissed the claims outright, asserting that Iran was responsible due to its military’s inaccuracy. In contrast, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that the matter was under investigation, stating that only Iran targets civilians. This divergence in statements led to Hegseth being sidelined, as preliminary assessments from anonymous U.S. officials and independent analysis by The New York Times suggest American forces may have carried out the strike. The incident occurred during the ongoing conflict, which has already resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of at least 165 schoolgirls.

Senator Lindsey Graham has claimed responsibility for persuading President Trump to initiate military action against Iran, a long-held objective for the senator.

He also collaborated with Jack Keane and Marc Thiessen, who amplified the case for war through media appearances and opinion pieces, despite some internal White House and MAGA opposition to such a push. The conflict has resulted in U.S. military casualties and a significant loss of Iranian lives.

The notion that news reports detailing the deaths of American service members in Iran are simply a tactic by the press to tarnish President Trump’s image is a particularly stark and, frankly, bewildering assertion. It suggests a profound disconnect between the grim reality of combat casualties and the perceived motivations of those who report on them. This viewpoint frames the media’s coverage of American lives lost as a partisan attack, rather than an obligation to inform the public about the costs of conflict.
From this perspective, the very act of reporting on these tragedies, when “a few drones get through, or something tragic happens,” is interpreted as a deliberate effort to undermine the president.… Continue reading
The Justice Department has closed an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen.

The difficulty in identifying a clear criminal statute made prosecution unlikely. This investigation occurred amid calls from Donald Trump for inquiries into Biden and his administration, fueled by claims that autopen signatures concealed cognitive decline.

The Trump administration’s engagement in military action against Iran has sparked significant dissent within the president’s MAGA base, challenging the “America First” platform that promised an end to new wars. Critics, including prominent conservative figures, argue that U.S. involvement appears driven by Israeli interests rather than American national security, fueling a growing disconnect over foreign policy priorities. This discord is further exacerbated by the administration’s justifications for the war, which are perceived by some as contradictory to the president’s past pledges and the core tenets of his political movement.
