Newly released footage aired by Iranian media and verified by The New York Times and the investigative collective Bellingcat adds to evidence that the United States was responsible for a deadly strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran. The attack reportedly killed more than 170 people, many of them children, during joint American and Israeli strikes that marked the start of the war with the Islamic Republic.

The video, published by the semi-official Mehr News Agency, shows the impact of what has been identified as a Tomahawk cruise missile. That weapon is possessed by the United States military, but not by the Israeli military or Iran, according to the reporting.

Senior United States officials have denied intentionally targeting the school, noting that it is located next to a Revolutionary Guards base and had previously been marked on maps as part of the same complex. President Donald Trump has claimed the strike was the result of an Iranian misfire.
