The White House drew widespread outrage Thursday after posting a hype video glorifying Iran strikes, captioned "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY" on X. The montage intersperses military footage with clips from popular action movies and television shows. The release came as the New York Times published an investigation revealing the U.S. bombed a girls' school in Iran, killing 175 civilians. Political analysts condemned the video as tone-deaf and inappropriate. Neera Tanden criticized the Trump Cabinet as "play acting actual leaders," while journalist Natali Morris called it propaganda confirmation. Ron Filipkowski labeled it "a disgrace." Physician David Bell noted the video disrespected families who lost loved ones and urged "hiring adults." A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers is challenging the administration's justifications for the bombing campaign amid mounting scrutiny over civilian casualties.
