Amidst a widening conflict with Iran, President Trump claimed that Iran or another entity could be responsible for a deadly strike on an Iranian elementary school. The strike, which killed dozens of children, occurred in Minab, near an IRGC naval compound. Evidence suggests a US Tomahawk missile hit the school, although Trump stated other nations possess Tomahawks. He mentioned a US operation in the Middle East and hinted at potentially easing oil sanctions to stabilize prices, while vowing to prevent Iran from controlling global oil markets. Trump acknowledged an investigation into the incident and admitted he lacked sufficient information to assign blame definitively.
