The footage is reported to show that 165 schoolgirls were killed and 96 wounded.

The footage has been circulated as evidence of a catastrophic attack on a civilian school complex and is presented by the reporting as documenting those high casualty figures.

Munitions expert Trevor Paul analyzed the footage and told media that the clip documents the fall of a U.S. Tomahawk missile on a facility belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Minab.

He called it "the first visual evidence that the United States struck the area."

That attribution is promoted in the coverage via the expert's interpretation of the imagery.

Independent open-source investigators also feature in the reporting: investigative site Bellingcat geolocated the scenes published by Mehr News Agency and overlaid satellite imagery to show the estimated impact area.

The mapped overlay is described as covering the school, a medical clinic and other damaged buildings in Minab, reinforcing the connection between the footage and specific structures on the ground.

Paul further asserted that only the U.S. operates Tomahawk-class missiles.

He said the footage does not match Iranian Soumar missiles, citing differences in engine placement.

These technical claims are central to the attempt to attribute responsibility.

The original Al-Jazeera account notes the reporting "ends abruptly" and says final attribution rests on the experts and geolocation work cited, indicating there is not an independently corroborated official confirmation in the piece.
