Tonight, more evidence that the US Was likely behind the strike on that school in Iran.

Iranian media says that it killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers.

Basic passive voice

This video shows what experts say is a US Tomahawk missile striking an Iranian Navy base right next to that school the same day the school was struck.

President Trump insisted it was Iran who attacked the school.

And today he appeared to somewhat back off that claim, but

he still suggested that it could have been Iran.

I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is sold and used by other countries.

You know that whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a Tomahawk.

It's sold to other countries, but that's being investigated right now.

You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war.

But you're the only person in your government saying this.

Because I just don't know enough about it.

I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.

As you know, numerous other nations have Tomahawks.

But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I'm willing to live with that report.

But experts tell CNN the Tomahawk missiles are not generic.

And while other countries like the United Kingdom and Australia do possess them, Iran does not.

But Pete Hexith is striking also a very different tone from the President on this story.

Listen, well, we're still investigating, and that's where I'll leave it today.

But what I will emphasize to you and to the world is that unlike our adversaries, the Iranians, we never target civilians.

There was a report late in the week from two officials that it was likely U. S. involvement.

If you could tell the American public it definitively was not us, you would tell us, wouldn't you?

I would say that it's being investigated, which is the only answer I'm prepared to give.

It is a question whether they would tell us because the President acknowledged in his comments today that he didn't know what happened.

I have questions about why that is at this stage.

But also then he spins this whole false narrative about it could have been anyone, including the Iranians, because everybody has Tomahawks when that's very much not true.

I mean, if you're anyone listening to that, how can you believe that they are interested in getting to the truthful answer here?

Well, you know, I will not agree with Pete Hegstadt that often, but

I think he did give the right response in that interview that this is under investigation.

And because when something goes under investigation, especially by the Department of Defense, you have to let the investigation play out, even if there is definitive video.

I think that is important that he acknowledge that.

I will say that when I was at the Department of Defense under Secretary Austin, we had a center of excellence that mitigated civilian harm.

That was an office that was basically been completely gutted by Secretary Hegseth by, I think, like 90%.

Lloyd Austin was former commander general of centcom.

Four star General Peter Haskell, FOX NEWS HOST yes.

Is he not acknowledge that the man served?

But my point that I want to get back to is that there is a level of competence that the American public is thirsting for that they are not getting from Pete Hesketh.

And we're seeing that when he is up there.

We're talking about 160 children that were killed.

All we want is an honest answer that comes from you and the President of the United States.

This isn't Lindsey Graham versus Cory Booker.

We understand that this is the fog of war.

However, we want a level of competence from Pete Hesketh that we're not getting.

What is incompetent about this military operation, in your opinion?

Let me start by saying this is incompetent.

Because he has an inability to tell the truth.
