Iran live updates: Trump says war will be ‘ended soon’
President Donald Trump faced questions about a deadly strike on an Iranian girls’ school during a briefing on Monday. When pressed on the incident, Trump admitted that he didn’t “know enough” about the details surrounding the strike.
Sources revealed that the U.S. military had targeted locations in Iran, including an area where an elementary school was hit, resulting in the tragic deaths of numerous children on February 28. A newly surfaced video indicated that a U.S.-made missile struck a building near the girls’ school, where local officials reported that 168 people lost their lives.
In response to inquiries about the U.S. taking responsibility for the strike, Trump described the missile as “very generic.” He mentioned that the Tomahawk missile, known for its power, is utilized by various countries, including Iran. Trump emphasized that Iran also possesses Tomahawk missiles, implying a potential attribution of responsibility on both sides.
During the briefing, Trump acknowledged that the incident was under investigation. He stated, “I just don’t know enough about it,” highlighting his limited knowledge of the situation. However, Trump expressed willingness to accept the findings of the investigation, stating, “Whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with that report.”
The President’s remarks underscored the complexity and sensitivity of the situation, as the international community awaited further details and clarification regarding the tragic strike on the Iranian girls’ school. The investigation into the incident will likely shed light on the circumstances surrounding the strike and provide insights into the accountability for the devastating loss of lives.
