Days after US PresidentDonald Trump blamed Iran for a deadly strike on a girls’ schoolin the southern Iranian county of Minab on February 28 killing over 160 girls, a video has emerged showing a US airstrike targeting a building at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base adjacent to the elementary school.
For the first time, the video posted on Mehr News, a semi-official Iranian news agency, showed missiles striking the area. The footage appeared to be shot from a nearby construction site.
According to CNN, the munition is consistent with an American BGM or UGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) that was seen before it hit a location inside the IRGC base.
While Iran reportedly does not operate the Tomahawk missile, the US Navy operates Tomahawks, launching them from its surface ships and submarines.

According to CNN, this video has added to a body of evidence that appears to contradict claims by US President Donald Trump casting blame on Iran.
In the video, a huge plume of smoke could be seen from the direction of the Shajareh Tayyiba school and people were seen in the foreground running away from the strikes.
CNN quoted Sam Lair, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, saying that the munition in the video is consistent with a US Tomahawk Land Attack Missile.

“First, it fits the visual characteristics of a TLAM. The cruciform shape with centrally mounted wings and a tailkit at the back. Second, the video was taken about 250 meters from the likely impact point. That means the munition has to be large. This rules out other munitions in the U.S. stockpile with similar visual characteristics like the GBU-69B," he said.
