How a New U.S. Weapon Killed 21 Civilians in Iran

How a New U.S. Weapon Killed 21 Civilians in Iran

So this is a satellite image of a part of Lamerd, which is a city in southern Iran. If we zoom way, way into this building here, which is a kids’ recreational center, the only damage that I can spot is this very small hole in the corner of a building. But for the rest, I don’t really see a lot of damage. There are no craters. There are no collapsed buildings. And that’s very curious because despite Pentagon denials, we found that this is the site of a deadly U.S. missile strike. At this recreational center alone, at least four kids were killed as they practiced volleyball and soccer. Overall, U.S. strikes killed at least 21 civilians in Lamerd. My name is Christiaan Triebert and I work on the Times’ Visual Investigations team. We often look at satellite imagery to look for clues about what’s happening on the ground. We’ve looked at a lot of places where bombs or missiles have struck, and usually we see these kind of craters, we see these kind …

Iranian Propaganda vs. U.S. Talking Points: How We Determined the Real Damage to U.S. Military Bases

Iranian Propaganda vs. U.S. Talking Points: How We Determined the Real Damage to U.S. Military Bases

So in the early days of the war between the U.S., Israel and Iran, my colleagues and I started seeing a lot of these videos that were filmed on U.S. military bases and also foreign bases, where the U.S. operates in the Gulf and the Middle East. And they showed a number of Iranian, usually drone strikes, on key infrastructure. And then not too long after that, we started seeing a stream of Iranian satellite imagery that came out of Iranian state media that were then filtering down through social media. And these images claim to show very massive swaths of destruction at these bases that the U.S. operates out of. And normally, what we would do is we would hit these up against American satellite imagery. But the U.S. government requested for American satellite companies to restrict the release of this imagery in the Middle East and the Gulf — not even restrict it, but even to retroactively remove images going back to early March. And also, U.S. officials weren’t talking a whole lot …

And if they had a nuclear weapon, you would be calling everybody over there ‘sir.’ And you don’t want to do that.” “Well, you keep saying ‘was’ — is this war over?” “I think it’s close to over, yeah, I mean, I view it as very close to over. You know what? If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we’re not finished. We’ll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.” The U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz appeared to be working …
