A newly surfaced video shows a US-made missile hitting a building in Iran adjacent to a girls’ school where local officials say 168 people were killed, experts told ABC News.
Asked on Monday whether the United States would accept any responsibility for the strike, Trump said the missile was “very general.”
“I will say that the Tomahawk missile, which is one of the most powerful weapons that exists, is used, you know, and it is sold and used by other countries,” he said, adding that Iran “also has some Tomahawk missiles.”
