In a brief phone call with the newspaper, Trump said he has \u201cno idea\u201d if Operation Epic Fury will help him secure support from committee members and asserted that he isn\u2019t interested in the prize, despite having previously touted his peacemaking credentials and a \u201cpeace through strength\u201d approach as a potential path to the award.<\/p>\n<p>The article places Trump\u2019s remarks in the context of the ongoing U.S.-led offensive in Iran, including a Tomahawk strike on Minab that killed about 175 schoolgirls on February 28. Preliminary Pentagon findings reportedly indicate the U.S. bears duty for the strike, though Trump has suggested Iran could be involved.
