A video published by The New York Times shows a U.S. missile attack on a naval base next to an Iranian school, where it was reported that 175 people died, many of them children. The material, verified and published by the newspaper, shows a Tomahawk cruise missile impacting the sites on February 28 in the city of Minab. An analysis of videos filmed from a construction site adjacent to the naval base—whose authenticity was confirmed by satellite imagery—shows the precise impact on a medical clinic of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, timed in coordination with the explosions that affected the educational facility. The timeline of the offensive is also based on information provided by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which released images of Tomahawk missile launches from Navy ships conducted on the same February 28, the date on which the attacks on the base and school were registered. The weapon used belongs exclusively to the United States Armed Forces. According to the report of the American newspaper to which the Argentine News Agency had access, the attack caused severe damage to the Shajarah Tayyebeh primary school building due to a precision attack that occurred simultaneously with the attacks on the naval base. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, dismissed the responsibility of his forces for the bombing of the Shajarah Tayyebeh primary school, attributing the incident to an error by local militias. "In my opinion, Iran did it; as you know, they are very imprecise with their munitions," stated the head of state in response to press inquiries. In tune, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, confirmed that the Pentagon initiated an investigation into the event, although he emphasized that the only side that directs attacks against civilian targets is the Iranian regime. However, a technical analysis conducted by The New York Times contradicts the official version by identifying that the projectile used in the attack was a Tomahawk cruise missile, a weapon that is not part of the arsenals of Iran or Israel.
