New video shows what appears to be a U.S. military missile near an Iranian elementary school that was attacked.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran.

A primary school in Minab in southern Iran was hit in the strikes, resulting in the deaths of more than one hundred children, the article reports.

CNN published a March 8 report analyzing newly released material related to the attack.

CNN cited video released by Iran’s Mehr News Agency, described in the article as the first video showing the area being struck by a missile.

The footage, filmed from a nearby construction site, shows a large column of smoke rising toward the Minab primary school and, in clipped shots, a missile striking a building at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military base.

Multiple weapons experts told CNN the missile’s shape and size match a U.S. Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile, and the report noted the Israeli military does not field that missile model.

CNN said the newly released video and previously published evidence suggest the U.S. government’s claim that Iran was responsible for the Minab school attack appears untenable, according to the article.

CNN earlier reported the United States was likely responsible for the strike on the school, citing satellite imagery that showed craters across the IRGC base and nearby buildings including the primary school.

Experts cited in that reporting noted the buildings were hit centrally, indicating a precision strike, but they warned there may have been problems in target identification or intelligence.

The article also notes that, according to information released by the U.S. military, U.S. strikes in southern Iran included the area of the school and the IRGC base.

The piece presents expert analysis and imagery that challenge the U.S. military attribution and flags uncertainties about targeting and identification rather than presenting a single definitive confirmation.
