华盛顿，3月11日（路透社） – 周三，美国参议院几乎所有民主党议员都在一封致美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯的信中签名，要求对伊朗一所女子学校遭空袭导致数十名儿童死亡的事件以及任何其他可能造成平民伤害的美军军事行动展开”迅速调查”。
路透社3月5日报道称，美国军方调查人员认为，美军极有可能是2月28日袭击该校的责任方，当时美以联军正对伊朗发动攻击。

这封信由46名参议员签署，信中指出：”这次学校袭击的结果令人震惊。遇难者中绝大多数是7至12岁的女童。美国和以色列政府尚未就此次袭击承担责任。”
除宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼外，参议院民主党核心小组所有成员均签署了该信。费特曼以直言不讳和偶尔违抗党内立场而闻名，其办公室未立即回应置评请求。
信中要求就一系列问题作出答复，包括美军是否实施了袭击、军方为防止和减轻平民伤害采取了哪些措施，以及人工智能工具在军事行动中扮演了什么角色。

美国国防部未立即就信件置评请求作出回应。赫格塞斯在最近的新闻发布会上誓言要恢复美军的”战士精神”，并将交战规则（冲突期间通常向军队下达的指令）描述为”愚蠢”。
伊朗驻联合国大使周二表示，美以空袭已造成超过1300名平民死亡。
共和党议员无人签署该信。特朗普总统所在党派在参议院拥有53席多数席位，几乎一致支持特朗普的对伊战略，仅有少数人对战争的某些方面表示质疑。
参议院共和党人一周前阻挠了一项两党决议案，该决议旨在停止对伊空战，并要求对伊朗的任何敌对行动都需经国会授权。除费特曼外，民主党核心小组所有成员均投票支持该决议。
议员们发表上述言论之际，正等待白宫预期提出的战争增兵请求。几名国会助手表示，预计特朗普将要求追加500亿美元军费，不过也有人认为该估计偏低。

WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) – Nearly every U.S. Senate Democrat signed a letter sent to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday requesting a “swift investigation” of airstrikes on a girls’ school in Iran that killed scores of children and any other potential U.S. military actions causing civilian harm.
Reuters reported on March 5 that U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for the strike on the school on February 28, as U.S. and Israeli forces launched attacks on Iran.

“The results of this school attack are horrific. The majority of those killed in the strikes were girls between the ages of 7 and 12 years old. Neither the United States nor the Israeli Government has yet taken responsibility for this attack,” the letter, signed by 46 senators, said.
The correspondence was signed by every member of the Senate Democratic caucus except John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a senator known for outspoken opinions and occasional defiance of the party. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The letter asked for answers to a series of questions, including whether U.S. forces conducted the strikes, what steps the military has taken to prevent and mitigate civilian harm and what role artificial intelligence tools have played in operations.

The Department of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter. Hegseth has vowed to restore a “warrior ethos” to the U.S. military and referred to rules of engagement, directives typically given to military forces during a conflict, as “stupid” in a recent press conference.
Iran’s U.N. ambassador said on Tuesday the U.S.-Israeli strikes had killed more than 1,300 civilians.
No Republicans signed the letter. Members of President Donald Trump’s party, who hold a 53-seat majority in the Senate, have almost unanimously backed his strategy on Iran, with only a handful expressing doubt about any aspect of the war.
The Democrats sent the letter a week after Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan resolution aiming to stop the air war and requiring that any hostilities against Iran be authorized by Congress. Every member of the Democratic caucus except Fetterman voted in favor of the resolution.
The lawmakers’ latest comments came as they awaited a request the White House is expected to make for more funding for the war. Several congressional aides have said they expect Trump to ask for $50 billion, although others have said that estimate seemed low.
