White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt takes questions from the media duri
Riyadh, March 10, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — Karoline Leavitt declined Tuesday to explain comments by Donald Trump suggesting that Iran had access to U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles.
During a White House briefing, Leavitt said the president had the right to express his views publicly and noted that he had said he would accept the outcome of an investigation into the incident.
Trump had asserted Monday that Iran possessed the U.S.-manufactured missile, which he suggested may have been used in a strike on a girls’ school in Iran that reportedly killed 165 people.
There has been no evidence indicating that Iran has obtained the Tomahawk cruise missile.
The missile is produced by Raytheon and is sold to certain U.S. allies, though there are no indications that Iran has acquired the weapon.
