Missile debris with US markings highlights complexity of strikes on Iranian schools
Debris from a missile that struck a girls' school in Minab was found to bear US munitions markings, reports the New York Times. According to the publication, the fragments are from a US-made Tomahawk missile.
Former US President Donald Trump stated that the school was not bombed by the United States but by other countries, suggesting Tehran may have "somehow obtained the American Tomahawk missile" and struck the school on the first day of the war, which resulted in about 170 girls being killed. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Israel carried out a strike on a school in the city of Khomein in western Iran, with over a dozen schools reportedly targeted in total. In response to criticism of his statements as unrealistic, Trump declared readiness to unleash twenty times more attacks on Iran.
This incident highlights the complexity and ambiguity of modern conflicts and the involvement of multiple actors, with devastating effects on civilians. The origin of munitions and responsibility for the attacks remain hotly debated issues.
