The resolution calls for an investigation by the United States House and Senate committees on Armed Services into the missile strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in southern Iran on February 28, 2026, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 175 individuals, including over 100 children. The resolution highlights that the school was clearly marked as a civilian facility, having been walled off from a nearby military compound since 2016, and questions the legality of the strike under international law, particularly regarding the principles of distinction and proportionality. It suggests that if the strike was based on outdated intelligence, it could constitute a war crime.
Additionally, the resolution calls for the resignation of United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, holding him accountable for the actions of the Department of War in relation to this incident. It emphasizes the need for accountability and learning from this event to prevent future violations of the law of war, particularly in light of a pattern of attacks affecting schools in the ongoing conflict. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to relevant congressional committees and the Secretary of War.
