Military made decisions without Trump being included

Why do you think issuing the results of the investigation is being delayed? Is it for the same reason the results from the investigation in to Pretti's murder haven't been released? You know, guilt.


AI Overview

Evidence indicates a U.S. airstrike hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran, on February 28, 2026, killing civilians, including children. Investigations by Amnesty International, The New York Times, and Bellingcat found that a Tomahawk missile caused extensive destruction, likely due to a targeting error that misidentified the school as part of an adjacent Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base.

Supposedly only in the last year or two did the IRGC stop using the building and turn it over to the school.

Ridiculous. There is eye witness testimony, satellite imagery, recovered bomb fragments, photos of the destroyed building, international news coverage, and videos of the funeral procession.

This is simple. You just don't want to admit the US is responsible.

More like most of us doubt it was intentionally targeted as a known girls school.
This is the sort of mistake~collateral damage common to wars.
What is amazing is how there has been very little of this sort of mistake in comparison to previous wars/conflicts, especially given the numbers of missions flown and the tonnage dropped.

It is good to know that the brass does not worry Trump with things he does not get.

They did the same with Clinton's, Obama, and Biden; in most cases. Those Dems even more likely to "not get" based on their performance in office.

The difference between him and Biden would be, Biden wouldn't need to be there, Trump would want to be there and would have to be forced not to be there.

Yet our supposedly more responsible military leaders, JCCS, etc. didn't balk when Biden ordered to tuck tail and run away NOW, out of Afghanistan, leaving all those weapons and equipment for the Taliban to get and use. Worse yet is the sudden bail out on a supposed ally, the Afghan government we were working with, on short notice and with next to no safety net and evac plan for them.

After the chain of Democrat POTUS fug-ups with our military, not surprised they are suspicious of any political leader.

So a few days now since the OP popped up here, and so far only Wall Street Journal has this story. A couple other media outlets just repeat what the WSJ claims, so still no OTHER confirming source on this claim~myth~distortion.

Snopes comes closest to another, independent source, but ...

Unpacking WSJ report claiming aides kept Trump out of ...​

...
Because the report relied on an anonymous source, Snopes is unable to independently verify it.
...
We have reached out to the White House, the Wall Street Journal reporters and the U.S. Department of Defense and are waiting for responses. Snopes will update this report if, or when, additional information surfaces.
...
After Iran's forces reportedly shot down a U.S. war jet and two U.S. airmen went missing early April 2026, a claim spread online that aides of U.S. President Donald Trump kept him away from the White House Situation Room, where a team of military experts oversaw efforts to rescue the two pilots.

Posts sharing the claim multiplied on social media, including on Facebook, where one of them cited a "Trump meltdown" as the reason for keeping him away from the operation ...
...
The rumor spread further on Facebook, Reddit and X. Meanwhile, Snopes readers searched the website and emailed to verify whether it was true.

The claim stems from an April 18, 2026, Wall Street Journal report, which cited an unnamed "senior administration official" who allegedly revealed that aides chose to share updates with Trump rather than allow him in the situation room for fear his "impatience" would hinder the rescue mission.

Snopes could not independently verify the claim. We contacted the White House and Department of Defense for comment on the report's accuracy and requested corroborating information from Wall Street Journal reporters. We will update this story should they respond.
...
The Wall Street Journal said Trump was growing frustrated with the public's disapproval of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the fact that the Islamic regime's ability to resist the attacks and close the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for tankers exporting oil from the Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf.

The Wall Street Journal reported aides kept the U.S. President away from the room because they were worried he was too impatient.

So 140+ posts here, mostly chewing over the unconfirmed WSJ article of the OP.
A couple of lame efforts for additional confirmation turn out to be sources repeating the WSJ 'claim'.

This thread is looking like a tempest in teacup, lots of hand wringing, waving, shouting (internet style) much ado over little of substance.

Usual anti-Trump players trying hard to make a mountain out of a molehill ....

BTW, among the few dozen net search results listed, this thread was within the first 20, FWIW.

I sit back and wonder why I'm not surprised to be at this point ... again.

Obama's plan was a disaster !
One hair short of aiding and abetting an enemy.

Almost any other plan, or no plan, would have been better.

Take the ACA away and watch MAGA scream.
