🇺🇸🇮🇷Pentagon Chief Cuts Bureaucracy; Iran Strike Scrutinized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has streamlined Pentagon offices responsible for civilian casualty oversight, reducing staff from 200 to under 40. The move was aimed at cutting what Hegseth deemed unnecessary 'woke' bureaucracy, despite warnings from senior military officials. The restructuring occurred shortly before the alleged US strike on a girls' school in Iran resulted in over 170 casualties. That incident is now the subject of a formal investigation. Critics now argue the staff reductions directly weakened oversight before the highly lethal strike in Minab. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
