Sen. John Kennedy has said the U.S. is likely to blame for the deaths of scores of schoolchildren killed during a missile strike in Iran.
Speaking to CNN’s The Arena with Kasie Hunt, the Louisiana Republican broke with Donald Trump’s suggestion that Iran may have been behind the Feb. 28 strike on the Shajareye Tayabeh girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, which reportedly killed at least 175 people, many of them children.
Reports suggest the school was struck by a U.S. Tomahawk missile, a weapon possessed by only a handful of countries worldwide, none of which are Iran or Israel. On Monday, Kennedy told NBC News he was “just so sorry” for the deaths of the 175 people but stressed he did not believe the school was struck intentionally.
