Trump Administration Used Untested Missile on School
On the opening day of conflict, the Trump administration reportedly utilized an untested missile, a Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), in an attack near an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps facility in southern Iran. This strike, which killed at least 21 and injured over 100, coincided with a separate incident where 175 people were killed at a school in Minab, an event President Trump attributed to Iran. Analysis by experts and video examination indicated the PrSM’s signature of tungsten pellets, consistent with its design to maximize damage, was evident at the site of the sports hall and adjacent elementary school. The weapon’s recent transition from prototype to deployment raises questions about its combat reliability, though U.S. Central Command stated their forces do not target civilians.
