🔺🔻Use of US "Prism" missile in the crime of Lamerd 🔹Today, on Monday, the Associated Press has confirmed in an investigative report that the attack on 9 Esfand on the sports hall in the city of Lamerd, Fars province, was carried out by the United States using the Prism missile. 🔹The Associated Press described the Prism as a "deadly weapon" that the US military first used on the first day of the war against Iran. 🔹According to this report, research by a group called "Airwars", which focuses on military conflicts, shows that this missile apparently can disperse a large number of metal pellets over a wide area, making its use near residential areas very hazardous. 🔹The Airwars investigation reveals that three missiles that struck the city of Lamerd in southern Iran on 28 February killed civilians up to 50 meters from the explosion site, and caused damage at a distance more than three times that. 🔹According to this group, the missiles exploded over a sports complex and two residential areas. Iranian officials have reported a minimum of 21 civilian casualties, including seven children. 🔹Images, videos, and satellite images of the aftermath of the Lamerd attacks that Airwars has reviewed and the Associated Press has also verified show buildings, streets, and vehicles damaged in a widely patterned manner filled with impact marks; a pattern that experts say corresponds to the capabilities of this missile.
