A newly released video adds to the evidence that an American missile likely hit an Iranian elementary school where 175 people, many of them children, were reported killed, according to The New York Times.The video, uploaded on Sunday by Iran’s semiofficial Mehr News Agency and verified by The New York Times, shows a Tomahawk cruise missile striking a naval base beside the school in the town of Minab on February 28. The US military is the only force involved in the conflict that uses Tomahawk missiles.A body of evidence assembled by The New York Times — including satellite imagery, social media posts and other verified videos — indicates that the Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School building was severely damaged by a precision strike that occurred at the same time as attacks on the naval base. The base is operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.Asked by a reporter from The New York Times on Saturday if the United States had bombed the school, President Trump said, “No. In my opinion and based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.”He said, “They’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions.”

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was standing beside Trump, said the Pentagon was investigating, “but the only side that targets civilians is Iran.”
