US EditionImages Show Tomahawk Missile Likely Struck Iran Girls’ School, Killing Nearly 200
The strike, likely by a U.S. Tomahawk missile, killed around 175 students and staff at a girls school next to an IRGC naval base in Minab, Iran, officials said.
- A short video posted by Mehr News shows a missile striking a building inside a walled compound near the girls' elementary school, with state media reporting around 175 dead.
- Expert assessments point to a Tomahawk cruise missile, with Jeffrey Lewis saying it does not match known Iranian designs and U.S. officials confirming Tomahawks were launched, as Gen. Dan Caine stated.
- Verification by Bellingcat and NPR found the footage was geolocated and filmed from a housing development, while satellite imagery from Planet reported by NPR shows seven buildings, including a clinic, were struck in a precision attack.
- The U.S. Central Command spokesperson declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation, while President Donald Trump said, 'Based on what I've seen, I think it was done by Iran' and later softened his stance on Monday.
- Site history shows the compound in Minab was a former IRGC naval base with a removed runway and a clinic opened in 2025; analysts warned outdated targeting data may have caused the strike.
