CENTCOM chief dismisses reports of civilian casualties in Iran war
CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper told a Senate hearing there was “no indication” and “no way we can corroborate” reports that US attacks struck civilian facilities in Iran.
His comments came after a New York Times investigation documented damage to dozens of civilian sites, including schools and healthcare facilities, during the conflict.
The report said at least 22 schools and 17 medical facilities were allegedly damaged or destroyed during the war, prompting renewed scrutiny of US targeting practices and civilian harm assessments.
