U.S. President Donald J. Trump spoke to reporters onboard Air Force One, following today’s Dignified Transfer for the six soldiers killed in an Iranian strike on Kuwait, with one reporter asking if he was worried he would have to return to Dover for additional Dignified Transfers, to which Trump responded:

“Yeah, sure, I hate to do it. But it’s a part of war, isn’t it? It’s a part of war. It’s the sad part of war. It’s the bad part of war.”

Reporter: “Mr. President, did the United States bomb a girls' elementary school in Southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people?”

President Trump: “No, in my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran.”

Reporter: “Is that true, Mr. Hegseth? It was Iran who did that?”

Defense Secretary Hegseth: “We are investigating, still investigating. But the only side that targets civilians is Iran.”

President Trump: “We think it was done by Iran. They're very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.”

Reporter: “Can you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like to you? I mean, what do you want from Iran?”

President Trump: “I said ‘unconditional,’ not ‘conditional.’ I said ‘unconditional.’ It's where they cry uncle, or where they can't fight any longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle. That could happen, too, because, you know, we've wiped out their leadership numerous times already. It's if they surrender or if there is nobody around to surrender, but they're rendered useless in terms of military.”

The Kuwaiti Army has released a statement announcing that the Kuwaiti Armed Forces repelled an attack Sunday morning from a wave of hostile drones launched by Iran, that had breached the country's airspace and were attempting to target fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump was asked once again about reports Russia was providing intelligence and targeting data to Iran, as well as effects the war is having on oil prices and shipping via the Strait of Hormuz:

Reporter: “Can I ask you what Peter asked you a question yesterday? You said it wasn't the right time in that event, but he was asking whether you have indications of whether Russia is supporting Iran somehow in this. Do you?”

President Trump: “I have had no indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they're not doing a very good job because Iran is not doing too well.”

Reporter: “What about the Strait of Hormuz? There's no traffic really going through it.”

President Trump: “Well, that's, you know, the ship's choices, but we have it cleaned out. We've wiped out their navy. Their navy is now... at the bottom of the sea. So that's their choice. This is an excursion. We figured oil prices would go up, which they will. They'll also come down. They'll come down very fast. And we will have gotten rid of a major, major cancer on the face of the Earth. We will have taken out a cancer. You know, don't forget October 7th. Don't forget all of the things that have happened over the years. All caused by these people. So what we're doing is a great thing, not only for our country and not only for Israel, not only for the Middle East, but for the world.”

Reporter: “Secretary Bessent announced some moves to temporarily allow certain Russian oil sales to India. Are you considering any other moves, including the SPR?”

President Trump: “Well, if there were some, I would do it, just to take a little of the pressure off. But I think that the oil pressure -- but there's a lot of oil. We've got a lot of oil. Our country has a tremendous amount, and we have -- there's a lot of oil out there. That will get healed very quickly.”
