President Trump contradicts himself again by claiming Iran launched
U.S. President Donald Trump has been caught contradicting his own narrative regarding an airstrike on elementary school children, first insisting Tehran bombed their institution before admitting he knows nothing about what is happening there while simultaneously claiming Iran launched Tomahawk cruise missiles against them during early days of conflict and that the weapon was American-made which arms experts have immediately rejected as false.

Developments
President Donald Trump claimed at a press conference on Monday that Iran possesses US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles to deflect responsibility for the strike on an Iranian elementary school in Tehran; however, arms experts immediately rejected this assertion as factually incorrect. Experts note there is no evidence of such weapons with Iran and confirmed they are not sold or used by any Middle Eastern ally due to strict export controls since the 1970s.
