A video verified by The New York Times suggests a US Tomahawk cruise missile struck a naval base beside an elementary school in Iran's Minab on February 28, where 175 people were reportedly killed, many of them children. The findings appear to contradict remarks by US President Donald Trump, who had suggested that Iran may have been responsible for the strike.
Neither Iran nor Israel is known to possess Tomahawk missiles, the report said.

The footage, released by Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency and verified by the newspaper, allegedly shows a Tomahawk missile hitting a naval facility in the town of Minab on February 28, near the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base.
