Secretary Hegseth was criticized by senators for a 'cavalier approach' to the use of force and rejecting rules of engagement.
Mainstream media is criticized for delaying coverage of a February 2026 attack on an Iranian school that killed 165 people. Evidence suggests U.S. involvement, prompting calls for investigations and criticism of the Trump administration's response.

Left-leaning outlets like Common Dreams and The Guardian emphasize Democratic demands for accountability and Hegseth's "cavalier" disregard for rules of engagement. In contrast, center-leaning sources such as ABC Columbia and NDTV focus on the tactical success of destroying mine-laying vessels and Hegseth's pledge to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
