Video appears to show U.S. Tomahawk hit naval base near Iranian school

to be a U.S. Tomahawk missile striking in the vicinity of an elementary school next to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval complex, according to eight munitions experts. The video, which was verified by The Washington Post, is the latest indication of likely U.S. involvement in the attack on Feb. 28 that killed dozens of children in the southern Iranian city of Minab.

Iranian authorities said at least 175 people were killed in the attack on Shajarah Tayyiba Primary School, widely believed to be the deadliest for civilians in the weeklong conflict between Iran and the United States and Israel. The Post has not been able to verify the number of casualties.

The Tomahawk is a long-range cruise missile that can be launched from Navy ships or submarines. The U.S. military, which has used the Tomahawk in other strikes during the operation, is the only participant in the fighting that is known to possess the missile in its arsenal.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters the strike on the school “was done by Iran.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was speaking alongside Trump, said, “We’re certainly investigating, but the only side that targets civilians is Iran.”

Comment: So if Iran did it, that means that the Republicans are selling arms to Iran - AGAIN? Since only the US has the Tomahawks.
