AThursday postfrom the official White House X account featured a bevy of scenes from films and television series, includingTop Gun,Braveheart,Iron Man,Breaking Badas well asTropic Thunder,along with the caption "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥."

On Friday, Stillerretweetedthe White House post and made clear he did not approve ofTropic Thunder, which he directed and starred in, being used.

"Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie," Stiller wrote.

This recent White House video, which includes several clips of warfare with the text "Unclassified" above, comes less than a week after the United States and Israel coordinated strikes on Iran.Reps for Stiller, Cruise, and the White House did not immediately respond when contacted byEntertainment Weeklyfor comment.

Indonesia will quit Trump's Board of Peace if it does not benefit Palestinians, Prabowo says

Indonesia will quit Trump's Board of Peace if it does not benefit Palestinians, Prabowo says

JAKARTA/WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto said he will withdraw from U.S. President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" if it does not benefit Palestinians, according to a government statement ‌on Friday, after the Iran war deepened doubts over his country's involvement.

Reuters

Prabowo, who leads the ‌world's largest Muslim-majority nation, had come under criticism from domestic Muslim groups for agreeing to join the board and provide troops to ​a Gaza stabilization force, under a Trump-brokered ceasefire deal that ended the two-year Israel-Hamas war.

A U.S. official on Friday confirmed that the security situation in the Middle East could affect the timing of deployments to the international stabilization force, which was authorized by the U.N. Security Council with Indonesia as a leading contributor.

"While some ISF ‌deployment timelines may shift due to ⁠the situation on the ground, discussions with our Indonesian partners continue," a Trump administration official told Reuters when asked about doubts over Indonesia's role.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said ⁠on Tuesday that all discussions about the Board of Peace, which will oversee the creation of the stabilization force, had been halted due to the Iran war.

Prabowo gathered leaders of local Islamic groups for a meeting on Thursday ​evening where ​he reiterated his reasoning behind joining the board, according ​to a statement put out by the ‌government communication office.

Prabowo will withdraw from the board if it does not benefit Palestinian and Indonesian interests, the statement quoted Hanif Alatas of the Islamic Brotherhood Front as saying.

"The president said that if he sees that there is no longer any benefit for Palestine ... and that it is not in line with Indonesia's national interests, he will withdraw," Hanif said in the statement.

The U.S. commander of the stabilization force, which is meant ‌to help rebuild the Palestinian territory, said last month that ​his deputy would be Indonesian.

The Indonesian Ulema Council, a leading clerical ​body, had previously called for Indonesia to ​exit the board due to the U.S. role in the Iran war. Critics have ‌said Indonesia's participation also compromises its long-standing ​support for the Palestinian cause.

Nahdlatul ​Ulama, the country's largest Muslim group, said Indonesia's government could use its role on the board to encourage de-escalation in the Middle East.

"Indonesia could declare that the (board's) agenda is on hold until ​there are talks on de-escalation and ‌peace from the American-Israeli war against Iran," the group's chief, Yahya Cholil Staquf, said in ​a statement issued by Prabowo's office late on Thursday.

The U.S. military was targeting an area near bombed Iranian school, sources say

The U.S. military was targeting an area near bombed Iranian school, sources say

TEHRAN — Nearly a week afterairstrikes hit an elementary schoolin southernIran, killing more than 170 people and leaving witnesses to find the severed limbs of children in the rubble, there have been increased international demands to know who was responsible and how the tragedy could happen.

NBC Universal

The strikes, in the town of Minab, came in at the very start of the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign on Saturday. The United States was targeting that area, where the boys and girls school, Shajareh Tayyebeh, was struck, Trump administration officials told members of Congress in a closed-door meeting this week, according to two U.S. officials. The administration officials also said their military partner, Israel, was not responsible for the school's bombing.

The U.S. has not claimed responsibility for the strikes, but the Trump administration's preliminary findings show it is increasingly likely that a U.S. munition was used in the strikes, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the investigation. The U.S. is still looking into whether the strikes were the result of bad intelligence or poor targeting, the sources said.

The administration did not offer an alternative theory to Congress members on who was responsible for the death and destruction, the two U.S. officials said. An American military investigation is ongoing.

"We need this to happen very quickly and we need to also make sure that there is accountability as well as redress for the victims," United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said Friday in Geneva.

New satellite imagery shows the school and several nearby buildings before and after the strikes. Witnesses and an education ministry official said that the school was located on a compound that was a base for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps until about 15 years ago.

Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a news conference on Wednesday that U.S. forces had been carrying out strikes along southern Iran, sharing a map appearing to show the area of Minab being targeted. He noted that Israeli forces had mainly been operating further north in Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that the U.S. was still "investigating" the incident, adding: "We, of course, never target civilian targets, but we're taking a look and investigating that."

And Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Monday that U.S. forces "would not deliberately target a school."

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Thursday with NBC News' Tom Llamas, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said it was "clear that the missiles were — the school was hit by Americans," though he did not share any evidence.

Asked to address whether there was any chance a "wayward Iranian missile" could have played any role, Araghchi said "no."

Operation Epic Fury

The U.S. military and Israel launched its attack on Iran, called Operation Epic Fury, around 9:45 a.m. local time on Saturday, deploying B-2 stealth bombers, fighter jets, missiles, rockets and other weapon systems. The strikes targeted Iran's navy, missile sites, command and control headquarters and air defense systems.

Three witnesses — Ahmad Kalami Pour, who said he served as the school's first principal from 2015 to 2017; Jafar Qasemi, a first responder who saw the aftermath; and Zahra Monazah, the mother of a 7-year-old who was killed in the strikes— told NBC News that the strikes on Shajareh Tayyebeh occurred mid to late morning on Saturday. They said a second wave happened hours later.

Planet Labs images captured at 10:53 a.m. local time on Saturday appears to show that the area had not yet been impacted by strikes.

The company next captured images on March 4 showing impact sites on the school and adjoining former IRGC base, with a total of seven buildings damaged or destroyed.

Among the buildings hit appeared to be a clinic, which was opened by the IRGC Navy in January 2025, according to the semiofficial Iranian news agency ISNA.

The clinic's signage can be seen in video geolocated by NBC News. Pour also told NBC News on Wednesday that at least one of the strikes had hit the clinic and that people were injured.

Pour, Monazah, and an official with the education ministry in Minab who spoke to NBC News said the school was located on a former IRGC base. All three said the base was closed around 15 years ago, and that all military personnel had been moved out. Pour, the former principal, said the school opened in 2015.

It is not uncommon for the IRGC to develop community infrastructure, such as schools, sport centers and clinics, particularly in underprivileged areas. Recently, Pour said, on the grounds "there was a clinic, the school, a supermarket, a cultural hall, and a car wash. Those kinds of facilities were operating there."

Satellite imagery captured in 2016 showed that the school appeared to have been sectioned off from the rest of the compound and given its own entrance. Watch towers that had been present until that point appeared to have been removed from the exterior wall around the school.

Precision strike analysis

Some weapons and conflict experts told NBC News that the satellite imagery appeared to reflect a targeted attack, while others noted that without knowing the intended target of the strikes, it was difficult to say whether the damage reflected "precise" hits.

It is unclear if the responsible party knew the building housed a school.

Jeffrey Lewis, an expert in arms control and open-source intelligence who specializes in satellite imagery, said he believed each building in the compound had been "individually targeted," most likely with bombs dropped by aircraft.

"The targeting of this site is incredibly accurate," Lewis said. "The explosion damage is incredibly precise, and it doesn't look like really anything missed, so that would tend to argue for precision munitions delivered by aircraft."

And Rich Weir, senior adviser of the Crisis, Conflict and Arms Division at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement to NBC News on Friday that "the number of individual strikes across the compound and the apparent accuracy with which they appear to have struck individual structures across the compound, shown in part through the relatively small circular holes that were points of entry for the munitions on multiple rooftops, indicate that the attack struck multiple structures on the compound base with highly accurate, guided munitions."

Corey Scher, a postdoctoral researcher in Conflict Ecology at Oregon State University, said the fact that "most of the bombs dropped on this compound directly hit a building" appears to imply "something about targeting."

However, in a video interview on Friday, he cautioned that without knowing the intended target of the strikes, it was difficult to say whether the strikes could be considered a "precise hit."

His colleague, Oregon State associate professor Jamon Van Den Hoek, who heads Conflict Ecology at the university, noted the number of impact sites on the compound, saying the lack of "evidence" of a similar pattern of strikes surrounding the site indicated "there tends to be something within this compound that seemed to be aimed at."

'Torn apart'

Witnesses speaking to NBC News described the horrific scenes in the aftermath of the strikes.

Monazah, whose son, Soheil, was killed in the attack just two days before his eighth birthday, said the school had "collapsed on top of the children" by the time she made it to the area.

"People were pulling out children's arms and legs. People were pulling out severed heads," she told NBC News on Monday.

Qasemi, the first responder, shared a similar account, telling NBC News "there were severed heads, severed hands, and bodies torn apart" as he described "extensive" rubble, with children "trapped underneath it."

Amin Khodadadi reported from Tehran, Courtney Kube and Julie Tsirkin reported from Washington and Chantal Da Silva, Molly Hunter and Matthew Mulligan reported from London.
