Warner on deadly Iranian girls' school strike: 'I want a thorough investigation' |
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) on Sunday discussed a recent strike on an Iranian girls' school, saying he desires "a thorough investigation" into the matter.

Let's — that's what thorough investigations are supposed to be for. Clearly, it was an American strike.
