Tomahawk missile

The Tomahawk missile is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile primarily used by the United States Navy and Royal Navy. Recent news reports allege a Tomahawk missile, purportedly fired by the US military, struck a military base near a primary school in Minab, Iran, on February 28, 2026. The strike resulted in the deaths of over 170 people, predominantly children. Video analysis and preliminary investigations point towards US responsibility, despite initial denials and accusations against Iran. This event has sparked international outrage, with human rights organizations like Amnesty International condemning the attack and US senators demanding a full investigation. The incident is particularly sensitive given the ongoing war in the Mideast and has raised concerns about potential war crimes and the US military's role in the conflict. The US president has denied knowledge of the findings.
