Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus reacts to latest news out of Iran

Monday marks 10 days of the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was named as Iran’s next supreme leader, after his father was killed in early U.S.-Israeli strikes.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, President Trump told reporters Iran was to blame for a strike, which killed 175 people at a girls’ school in Iran, despite video evidence showing a U.S. Tomahawk missile landing near the school.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, though, said his department is investigating the attack.

Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus speaks with Here & Now‘s Robin Young to offer his thoughts on the latest news out of Iran.
