President Donald Trump addressed questions from reporters regarding a controversial claim surrounding a deadly missile strike in the Iranian city of Minab, emphasizing that the incident remains under investigation and that he is prepared to accept the findings once the facts are fully established. The exchange occurred after a reporter challenged Trump over earlier remarks suggesting that Iran may have been responsible for launching a missile that struck an elementary school during the opening phase of the ongoing conflict.

The reporter pressed the president on why he appeared to be the only official in his administration raising the possibility that Iran used a Tomahawk-style missile to strike its own civilian infrastructure. The journalist noted that even members of Trump’s own administration, including the Defense Secretary, had not publicly echoed the claim when asked about it during recent press briefings.

Trump responded by clarifying that he does not yet have definitive information about the event and that the situation is still being examined by investigators. The president acknowledged that he does not currently possess enough details to draw a firm conclusion about what exactly happened in the Minab strike. According to Trump, his earlier remarks were based on information that had been presented to him while authorities were still reviewing the evidence.

During his response, Trump also pointed out that Tomahawk cruise missiles, or systems similar to them, are not exclusively controlled by the United States. He noted that several countries possess comparable missile capabilities and that some nations operate variants or related systems that were originally developed by the United States or acquired through defense partnerships. Because of this broader distribution of technology, Trump suggested that identifying the exact origin of the weapon requires careful technical analysis rather than immediate assumptions.

The president emphasized that the U.S. government is relying on ongoing intelligence assessments and investigative reports to determine the truth behind the incident. He stated that once those findings are complete, he will accept the conclusions reached by investigators, regardless of what they ultimately reveal. This position signals that the administration intends to allow defense and intelligence agencies to conduct a thorough review before drawing final judgments about the attack.
