Trump lied about US responsibility for the missile strike on an Iranian elementary school. Of course.

But, to be clear, it was a double-lie: not only dishonesty about whose missile caused the carnage, but also the encompassing lie of “pinpoint strikes” and surgical warfare.

War is not what Hegseth and Trump want you to believe, and any time that becomes obvious they will pivot to other outrageous claims.

War on Iran is waged as part of an ongoing war on truth.
