President Trump on Saturday told reporters, without citing evidence, that he believes a deadly strike on a girls' primary school in southern Iran last weekend was "done by Iran."

"In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran…We think it was done by Iran, because they're very inaccurate with their munitions, they have no accuracy whatsoever, it was done by Iran," Mr. Trump said aboard Air Force One after attending the dignified transfer of six U.S. soldiers who were killed in an Iranian strike in Kuwait on March 1.

When pressed by a reporter if Mr. Trump's assessment was accurate, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded that the Pentagon was "investigating," adding that "the only side that targets civilians is Iran."

It's so much more insulting when he can't even be bothered to come up with a believable lie.

    No real reason to elevate the US perspective on these matters.

    Isn't this sort of thing not that difficult to prove? Inspect the debris. It's not like they both use Soviet weapons.

    CBS News would rather spread fascist propaganda than accurately report on American war crimes.

    they’re very inaccurate with their munitions

    3 of 7 global thaad systems have been hit from 100s of km away. This is the line that Israel gave on the first hospital they bombed in Gaza.

    Trump lies. This is one of the most disgusting ones. "They can't shoot straight" is both false and prejudicial. Theory would require a nearby launcher, and one that could cause the damage, instead of pure BS.

    This is a fraction of the girls this dude has harmed. There are people who get within punching distance of this guy every single day and nothing has happened. So yeah that survey about Americans thinking Americans are bad people is because Americans are bad people.

    There are a lot of things that drumpf "believes "... doesn't make it true.

    Even in the remote chance that this is true, they wouldn't have had any reason to fire the missile if the US didn't attack, so the blame would still lie with the US.

    Could be true, but nobody gives you the benefit of the doubt when you absolutely don't deserve it.

    Why would you say it could be true when all evidence and even pro US news sources have said its "probably" America even saying that it could be true is giving the claim too much credit.

    It doesn't make sense to him because why would anyone kill all of these kids without raping them first?
