Pentagon Faces Criticism Over Silence on Iran School Strike Several former US officials have raised concerns about the Pentagon’s lack of transparency after a deadly strike on a school in Iran earlier this year. The incident has drawn attention because officials say the response is unusually limited compared to past cases. Deadly Strike in Minab Raises Questions The attack happened on February 28 in the city of Minab during the early phase of the US-Israeli conflict. A missile struck a primary school, killing 168 people. Reports from Iranian authorities say around 110 of the victims were children. Since the incident, the Pentagon has only stated that an investigation is ongoing. No further details have been shared so far. Former Officials Call Out Lack of Transparency Some former US officials say this silence is not normal. They point out that in previous incidents involving civilian deaths, the Pentagon released key information within weeks. Retired US Air Force legal expert Lt Col Rachel VanLandingham said the current response is very different from past practices. She stressed that earlier administrations showed a stronger commitment to the law of war and accountability. She also noted that clear communication helps prevent similar tragedies in the future. According to her, that element is missing in this case. Conflicting Statements From Leadership US President Donald Trump commented on the incident in early March. He suggested that Iran could be responsible, but did not provide any evidence. Later, when asked about footage showing a US Tomahawk missile hitting a nearby military base, he said he had not seen it. He also claimed Iran possessed similar missiles, again without proof. When questioned about reports linking US forces to the strike, he said he was unaware of the situation. Investigation Ongoing, But Details Remain Limited Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the incident is under investigation. He added that US forces do not intentionally target civilians. Despite repeated questions, the Department of Defense has not confirmed whether the nearby Iranian military base was part of planned targets. This is unusual, as such details are typically disclosed in other operations. Reports Suggest Possible US Involvement Independent footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting a military base next to the school. Some reports suggest that the school may have been struck due to outdated target coordinates provided by intelligence sources. However, officials have not confirmed these claims. The Pentagon has also declined to comment on these reports. Growing Pressure for Accountability The lack of clear answers has increased pressure on US authorities. Critics argue that transparency is essential, especially in cases involving civilian casualties. They believe that acknowledging mistakes, if any, is key to maintaining credibility and preventing future incidents.

Who Is Really Running Iran Right Now Leadership at the Top Looks Unclear Iran’s political system officially places ultimate authority in the hands of the supreme leader. After the death of Ali Khamenei at the start of the conflict with the United States and Israel, his son Mojtaba Khamenei was reported to have taken over the role. In theory, this position controls major national decisions, including war strategy, foreign policy, and security direction. In practice, the situation now appears far less clear. Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since assuming power. His absence has created uncertainty inside and outside Iran about who is actually directing the state. Limited Visibility and Growing Questions There are few confirmed signs of direct leadership activity. Only a small number of written messages have been released under his name, including statements about key military positions. Reports from Iranian sources suggest he may have been injured during early strikes in the conflict. His condition and ability to communicate have not been independently confirmed. This lack of visibility has weakened the usual signals of leadership. In Iran, public presence and speeches are often used to show authority and control. That pattern is missing now. Power Appears Less Centralized Observers note that decision making inside Iran now seems more divided than before. Instead of a single clear authority, multiple institutions appear to be involved in shaping outcomes. Some believe the leadership transition happened too quickly for full control to be established. Others point to internal disruption caused by ongoing military pressure. The result is a system where direction is harder to read, and authority is less clearly concentrated at the top. Diplomacy Continues but with Limits Iran’s foreign ministry continues to engage in diplomatic talks with the United States under President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. However, their influence appears limited. Strategic decisions do not seem to come directly from the diplomatic team. At times, contradictions have appeared in official messaging, including mixed signals over key security issues. This suggests that diplomacy is reacting to events rather than shaping them. Parliamentary leadership has also taken a visible role in negotiations, adding another layer to an already complex structure. Military and Political Tracks Not Fully Aligned Military decision making appears to operate on a separate track from diplomacy. This has created inconsistencies in messaging and strategy. Officials involved in talks often adjust positions quickly, reflecting shifting instructions or unclear authority lines. This divide has reinforced the perception that Iran’s internal leadership structure is under strain during the conflict. Conclusion: A System Under Pressure Iran’s leadership is formally defined but practically difficult to observe at the moment. The absence of a visible central figure, combined with fragmented decision making, has created uncertainty at the highest level of the state.
