The Feb. 28 attack on a primary school in southeastern Iran was the deadliest reported strike in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. Most of the victims were children. In almost any other conflict, these haunting truths would be seared into national memory. Yet more than 120 days since at least one U.S. missile struck the school in Minab, there remains no final accounting of what happened. The rapid pace of U.S. bombing and chaotic death tolls has left families without resolution. President Donald Trump has denied U.S. involvement, while Iran blames the U.S. The Pentagon’s investigation remains incomplete.

The San Francisco Catholic Archdiocese has agreed to pay $395 million to settle over 500 lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse by church officials. A plaintiffs' attorney announced the settlement on Monday. It includes implementing child protection and transparency reforms, such as creating a list of accused clergy. The settlement comes three years after the Archdiocese filed for bankruptcy and will cover about 530 survivors. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone must write an apology letter to each survivor. Attorney Jeff Anderson called the settlement unprecedented and hopeful. In 2024, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to a record $880 million settlement.
