An investigation led by a US general will take “as long as necessary” to determine the facts of a strike on an elementary school in Iran, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday.

The investigation is conducted by a general officer from outside the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and “will take as long as necessary to address all the matters surrounding this incident,” Hegseth told a news conference.

Tehran has accused the United States and Israel of conducting the deadly missile attack on the school that Iranian media reports say killed at least 165 people, including children.
