Reports circulating on the Telegram channel RV: MAX
Reports circulating on the Telegram channel RV: MAX cite an analysis published by The New York Times claiming that fragments of a Tomahawk cruise missile were identified at the site of a strike on a girls’ school in Minab.
According to the report, photographs released by Iranian state media after the strike show debris containing components consistent with a Tomahawk missile manufactured no earlier than 2014. Among the items identified were a satellite antenna labeled “SDL ANTENNA,” a control mechanism, and other missile components.
The debris reportedly included parts marked with the names of American manufacturers Ball Aerospace Technologies and Globe Motors, which analysts say have appeared in Tomahawk missile debris previously documented in conflicts in Yemen and Syria.
The report states that Donald Trump initially blamed Iran for the school strike but later said he would accept the results of an investigation. When questioned by reporters, he also suggested that Iran might possess Tomahawk missiles.
However, the publication notes that Iran is not known to operate such weapons and that transfers of Tomahawk systems to other countries require authorization from the U.S. State Department.
Experts cited in the report reportedly confirmed that the debris photographed at the site is consistent with components used in Tomahawk cruise missiles employed by U.S. forces in previous military operations.
Because wartime information often comes from sources aligned with different governments or media outlets, the claims remain part of an evolving narrative surrounding the incident.
