Iran CATEGORICALLY does not have, nor has ever had, any Tomahawk cruise missiles.
RAJU: Footage shows an American missile likely destroyed the Iranian girls' school. Will the US accept any respons-- TRUMP: Well, I haven't seen it. I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is sold and used by other countries. Iran has some Tomahawks.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The only operators of Tomahawk missiles are the United States Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Navy. Iran has zero Tomahawk missiles. naval-technology.com/projects/tomah… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomahawk_…

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it? TRUMP: You could say both

I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives. Behind me is the Gateway project, a $16 billion effort to build a new rail tunnel across the Hudson. It's the most important infrastructure project in the country, vital to the economy of New York and the rest of the northeastern U.S.. The work will stop today—with thousands of jobs lost—because Donald Trump *illegally* cut off the funding. Why?  Because he wants *Penn Station* (and Dulles Airport) to be named after *him*.  So the fight against Trumpism is both about democracy and our economic well-being.  It’s *one* fight. It’s either Trump or us.  We can’t go on with him another three years. And that’s why I’m running for Congress. Join the fight at georgeconwayforcongress.com.

I'm leaving Twitter. Goodbye to my friends here. It was good ride for quite some time, until it completely wasn't. I'll be on Bluesky and Instagram. And we all have to keep fighting the good fight.
