The US reportedly lacks the capacity to probe the murder of around 170 children in Minab after civilian protection units were cut by 90%
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reportedly gutted Pentagon oversight offices that would normally help investigate the deadly US strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed at least 170 people last month, according to a Politico report.
Current and former civilian protection officers told the outlet that the number of Pentagon employees focused on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped under Hegseth from around 200 to less than 40.
The Civilian Protection Center of Excellence was among the offices slashed last year, while the team handling civilian harm at Central Command has been reduced from ten personnel to just one. Hegseth has described these units as not contributing to his goal of “lethality.”
