President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty regarding the incident in Iran, where a school was hit, and suggested a Tomahawk missile could have been involved. He mentioned that the U.S.-made Tomahawk is sold to other countries, including potential adversaries like Iran, while also stating the incident is under investigation. The President initially indicated Iran was responsible.
He suggested it could have been a"Tomahawk" fired by Iran .President Donald Trump said on Monday he doesn't "know enough" about thethat Iran says killed at least 168 people, including dozens of children, but that he was "willing to live" with the findings of a U.
S. investigation into the incident. A newly surfaced video appears to show a U.S.-made missile, a Tomahawk, hitting a building in Iran adjacent to the girls' school,President Donald Trump speaks at the Republican Members Issues Conference, Monday, March 9, 2026, at Trump National Doral Miami in Doral, Fla."I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, it's sold and used by other countries, you know that," Trump said. "And whether it's Iran, who also has some Tomahawks, they wish they had more, but, whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a Tomahawk -- a Tomahawk is very generic, it's sold to other countries. But that's being investigated right now." The U.S. makes and sells Tomahawks to its closest allies, including the U.K. and Australia. But it has never sold the technology to Iran or other adversaries. While other countries like Russia use cruise missiles, only the U.S. makes Tomahawks, as the missile experts say appears to be seen in the video of the school strike.The president faced questions Monday on the Feb. 28 incident during a news conference at Trump National Doral Miami, including his comment over the weekend that Iran was behind it. "Based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing just behind the president on the plane, said the matter was under investigation and that "only side that targets civilians is Iran.""I think it's something that I was told is under investigation. But Tomahawks are --are used by others, as you know. Numerous other nations have Tomahawks. They buy them from us," Trump said. "But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I'm willing to live with that report," the president continued. The U.S. military was striking targets in the country last Saturday in an area where an elementary school was hit and dozens of children were killed, two people familiar with the initial findingsAn analysis of satellite imagery by ABC News suggests the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab was near an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps compound but had been separated from it more than decade ago. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, rejected Trump's claim that Iran was behind the hit on the girls' elementary school.Related Topics
