As the camera pans to the right, a huge plume of smoke can be seen from the direction of the Shajareh Tayyiba school, where at least 168 children and 14 teachers were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This evidence appears to contradict President Donald Trump&#8217;s claims that Iran was responsible for the attack, and is consistent with CNN reporting and expert analysis that concludes that the US military was likely responsible for the school strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New images reveal the moment a \u201cUS Tomahawk missile\u201d strike hits near Minab girls&#39; school as Trump tries to shift blame to Iran for the horror attack<br><br>The images show the moment of impact, with the school building already smouldering, suggesting multiple strikes in the area. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qn7BlgYqNM\">pic.twitter.com\/qn7BlgYqNM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Viory Video (@vioryvideo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vioryvideo\/status\/2031014645289332798?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 9, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conflicting statements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBased on what I\u2019ve seen, this was done by Iran,\u201d Trump told reporters on Saturday, calling the Iranian munitions \u201cvery inaccurate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His administration has been more cautious. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, when asked if Trump\u2019s claims were true, said: \u201cWe\u2019re certainly looking into it, but the only party that\u2019s targeting civilians is Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technical analysis of the Tomahawk missile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visual characteristics: Cross-shaped with centrally located fins.<br>Size: The distance from the impact point suggests a large size, ruling out smaller munitions (such as the GBU-69B).<br>Experts point out that only the U.S. Navy, not Israel, has Tomahawk missiles, which it launches from surface ships and submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proximity of base and school<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satellite images show that the school and the IRGC base were once part of the same compound, until a fence was erected in 2016. N.R. Jenzen-Jones, an expert on munitions (ARES), said the data paints a picture of \u201cmultiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous hits\u201d that hit both the base and the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there has been speculation that the explosion at the school may have been caused by a failure of Iranian air defenses, Jenzen-Jones considers this unlikely, as the damage to the base suggests the use of precision weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Democrats call for \u201cimpartial\u201d investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the new evidence, opposition US Democratic senators today called for an \u201cimpartial\u201d Pentagon investigation into the school bombing, which occurred on the first day of the US-Israeli offensive against the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndependent analysis credibly suggests that the attack may have been carried out by US forces, which, if proven true, would make this attack one of the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of US military interventions in the Middle East,\u201d senior Democratic senators wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe killing of students is shocking under any circumstances,\u201d they added, demanding that Hegseth conduct a \u201cfull and impartial investigation\u201d into the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis incident is particularly troubling given Secretary Hegsketh\u2019s openly arrogant stance on the use of force, especially when he stated that US attacks on Iran would not be subject to \u2018stupid rules of engagement,\u2019\u201d the senators, including Jeanne Shaheen, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new video, published on Mehr News, a semi-official Iranian news agency, is the first to show missiles hitting the Minab region in southern&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2850,7],"tags":[7895,160,2807,7896,7894,70,1976],"class_list":["post-28290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investigation","category-research","tag-deadly-attack","tag-iran","tag-missile","tag-school","tag-ugm-109-tomahawk-missile","tag-usa","tag-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28290"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28293,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28290\/revisions\/28293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
