Overview
- A clip released by Iran’s Mehr News and geolocated by Bellingcat, the New York Times and ABC shows a cruise missile consistent with a U.S. Tomahawk hitting an IRGC/naval facility in Minab on Feb. 28.
- Weapons analysts say the missile’s size, shape and flight profile match a Tomahawk, a system not known to be fielded by Iran or Israel.
- Satellite imagery reviewed by investigators indicates two structures in the estimated impact area were damaged, including a clinic and what appears to be an earth‑covered magazine.
- Experts caution the video confirms a strike on the base but does not by itself prove what hit the adjacent girls’ school, stressing the need for on‑site evidence such as munition fragments.
- Iranian officials report roughly 168–175 deaths at the school, many of them children, while the United States and Israel have not claimed responsibility and the Pentagon inquiry remains active; President Trump has publicly blamed Iran.
