\n \u201cI will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around \u2026 is sold and used by other countries, you know that. Whether it\u2019s Iran, who also has some Tomahawks \u2014 they wish they had more,\u201d Trump said when asked by CNN\u2019s Manu Raju whether the US would accept any responsibility for the strike.\n <\/p>\n
\n Pressed by another reporter on why he was the only member of the administration pointing blame at Iran, Trump said: \u201cBecause I just don\u2019t know enough about it. I think it\u2019s something that I was told is under investigation, but Tomahawks are used by others. As you know, numerous other nations have Tomahawks. They buy them from us, but I will certainly \u2014 whatever the report shows, I\u2019m willing to live with that report.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Asked about the attack on Saturday, Trump said that \u201cbased on what I\u2019ve seen, that was done by Iran.\u201d Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was standing beside him at the time, would only say the matter was under investigation.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Tomahawk missile is not a \u201cgeneric\u201d weapon. While the US, the United Kingdom and Australia possess them, Iran does not.\n <\/p>\n
\n Iran has blamed the US for the school strike, according to Iranian state media.\n <\/p>\n
\n The US military was likely responsible, according to CNN and expert analysis of evidence<\/a>. And footage<\/a> has emerged that appears to show a US missile targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base adjacent to the school.\n <\/p>\n Trump softens suggestion that Iran was behind deadly strike on girls’ school\n <\/p>\n President Donald Trump suggested that it may have been another country that struck an elementary school in southern Iran when asked by CNN’s Manu Raju. Trump claimed that Iran and other countries possess \u201cgeneric\u201d Tomahawk missiles like the one that appears to have been used in the attack.<\/p>\n Trump softens suggestion that Iran was behind deadly strike on girls’ school<\/p>\n 00:43 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After suggesting over the weekend that Iran was responsible for a deadly strike on a girls school in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,9646,87177],"class_list":["post-185291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-hnk","tag-intl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"117827_trump](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/117827-trump-presser-vrtc-manu-q-00-00-20-22-still001.jpg\")
