Frappe sur l'école de Minab : les nouvelles images qui contredisent Donald Trump
Summary
Donald Trump asserts that Iran is responsible for a missile strike on a school in Southern Iran, claiming that the attack resulted in significant casualties. However, evidence contradicts this assertion, indicating that a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile was involved in the strike.
A released shortly after the incident shows the missile hitting a building just 200 meters from the school, raising questions about the accuracy of Trump's claims. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of responsibility for the attack.
Reports indicate that Tomahawk missiles are manufactured and held in large quantities by the United States, complicating the narrative that solely blames Iran. The U.S. has strict regulations regarding the transfer of such weapons to other countries.
Additional evidence, including footage from the U.S. Navy, suggests American involvement in the incident. The characteristics of missile debris found at the site align with those of Tomahawk missiles, further implicating U.S. military assets.
