 Trump had previously asserted that Iran might be to blame for the strike, though when pressed on why no one in his own administration seemed to be publicly supporting that claim, he responded, “Because I just don’t know enough about it.”  In this aerial photo released by the Iranian Press Center, mourners dig graves during a funeral in Minab, Iran, on Tuesday, March 3.
