The claim\u00a0\u201cThe missile that fell on a girls\u2019 school in Iran was a Raduga Kh-55 launched by\u2026\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0not supported by the most reliable investigations so far<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What verified investigations say<\/h3>\n

The strike occurred on\u00a028 February 2026<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls School<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Minab<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, where many schoolchildren were killed.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n

    Independent analyses by journalists and weapons experts found\u00a0evidence pointing to a U.S. cruise missile<\/strong>, most likely a\u00a0Tomahawk cruise missile<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Satellite imagery, video footage, and missile fragments reportedly\u00a0matched components previously documented from Tomahawk missiles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    U.S. officials themselves said an\u00a0internal investigation suggested the strike was likely carried out by U.S. forces<\/strong>, though the final conclusion had not yet been officially confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    About the Kh-55 claim<\/h3>\n

    The\u00a0Kh\u201155 cruise missile<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is a Soviet-designed air-launched cruise missile used by several countries, including Russia and Iran.<\/p>\n

    However:<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Claims that the school was hit by a\u00a0Kh-55 launched by Iran or another actor mainly circulate on social media and forums<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Those claims\u00a0have not been confirmed by major investigations or credible evidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Fact-checking reports indicate\u00a0several misinformation narratives spread online after the attack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Bottom line<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        The\u00a0Kh-55 explanation is currently unverified<\/strong>\u00a0and largely part of online speculation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        The\u00a0strongest available evidence points to a Tomahawk cruise missile<\/strong>, with investigations still ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Because the incident happened during an active conflict,\u00a0final responsibility may take time to be fully confirmed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
