FAKE NEWS: No, the claim in your post is **not true** based on available evidence from multiple independent sources, expert analyses, and verified footage as of March 9, 2026.
The incident refers to the February 28, 2026, strike in Minab, southern Iran (Hormozgan Province), on or near the Shajareh Tayyebeh (or similar spelling) girls' elementary school adjacent to an IRGC naval compound/base. Iranian authorities reported 165–180 deaths, mostly children (girls aged 7–12), with the school partially demolished during morning classes.
Iran alleged a US strike (likely Tomahawk cruise missile), while **President Trump stated on March 7 (or around then)**: "No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran" (or similar phrasing like "that was done by Iran... they're very inaccurate"). He suggested Iranian munitions lack accuracy.
However, newly released video (from Iranian state/semi-official media like Mehr, geolocated and analyzed) shows a missile striking the compound/base next to the school. Multiple sources and experts contradict the post's analysis:
- **Munition identification**: Investigative groups (e.g., Bellingcat), munitions experts (e.g., Jeffrey Lewis from Middlebury Institute, Trevor Ball), and outlets (AP, NYT, Guardian, Washington Post, NPR, CNN) identify the missile in the video as consistent with a **US Tomahawk cruise missile** — the only operator in this conflict known to use it. No credible sources match it to an Iranian Kh-55-derived missile (e.g., Soumar or similar reverse-engineered variants).
- **Wing position and other features**: The post claims wings at 40–45% down the body (vs. Tomahawk's 49–50%), making it "impossible" to be a Tomahawk. But expert reviews of the footage do not support this distinction; they affirm Tomahawk compatibility. Kh-55/Soumar details (length ~6m, diameter ~0.5m) exist, but no analyses align the video with Iranian designs over Tomahawk.
- **Attack/diving angle**: The post says ~70° dive (Tomahawk max, atypical; usual 20–45° for low-level flight), vs. Kh-55 max ~55°, suggesting jamming caused an Iranian missile to dive uncontrollably. Tomahawk specs allow variable terminal trajectories, including high-angle "pop-up" dives (up to 85° in some modes) for certain attacks, not limited to shallow angles. Low-level cruise is standard, but terminal phase can adjust (e.g., vertical/horizontal/over-target detonation). No evidence supports GPS jamming causing this; experts see it as deliberate Tomahawk behavior.
- **Broader evidence**: Satellite imagery shows multiple strikes on the IRGC base and school vicinity simultaneously. US forces were active in southern Iran (near Strait of Hormuz naval targets) on day one of US/Israeli operations. No indication of Iranian launches there at that time/mis-fire. Investigations (e.g., US military reviews, media like NYT/CNN/Reuters) point to likely US responsibility, contradicting Trump's claim.
The post's conclusion (Iranian Kh-55 jammed by US/Israel GPS jamming) appears to be a fringe interpretation not backed by mainstream reporting or experts, who overwhelmingly link the munition and strike to US Tomahawk use. Trump concurred with his own view, but evidence points the other way.
This is a fast-moving conflict story; claims rely on open-source intel, and fog of war persists, but current consensus from diverse sources (Western media, investigators) does not support the "not a Tomahawk" narrative.
Look, I’ve been around long enough to hear this line a hundred times: “Corporations don’t pay taxes, they just pass it all on to you, the consumer.” Sounds neat and tidy, but it’s mostly BS. Sure, some of the tax gets baked into prices, especially on stuff people have to buy anyway. But the real world isn’t that simple.
Studies, the real ones anyway, not just talking-head hot takes, show the hit gets spread around. Shareholders take a chunk through lower dividends and stock values. Workers get squeezed with slower raises, fewer jobs, or companies moving overseas. Consumers? Yeah, we feel it in higher prices, but usually only 30–50% of the total burden, depending on the industry and how competitive things are. In a lot of cases, everyday employees and families end up carrying more of the load than the big shots at the top. So no, it’s not just “passed through to the consumer” like some magic trick. It hurts a bunch of regular people, not just the checkout line. That’s the truth of it.
@Eng_china5 No the USA is the “big brother” on the school playground at recess or lunch. They make sure their little brothers/friends aren’t getting picked on by the wannabe bullies. China you should know this better than anyone else with the way you treat your own people.
@DanBilzerian@truthtroll_X One has them and hasn’t used them the other (Iran) if they had them would t hesitate to use them tomorrow. What an ignoramus you are… pathetic!
You forgot “Fuck Iran” what an evil regime they have controlling their people. If you lived there and under their control you would have ZERO freedom to speak the way you do now. However, the other places listed gives you complete freedom to speak your mind as you have done… even if it is wrong. You should think about that some more.
@IranTimes9 Allah isn’t real… only God of the Bible is. The one true God. The father of Jesus Christ and I he ONLY saviour! Repent or serve the devil. The choice is yours…
