PNN – The New York Times reported that the bombs used in an attack on a wedding celebration in southern Iran Sirik were of American origin.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; The New York Times published an article addressing an airstrike by the U.S. military on a residential area in the small town of Kohestak, located in Sirik; based on the newspaper’s visual analysis and the assessment of a weapons expert, the bombs employed in the attack were American-made.
The New York Times gathered videos of weapon remnants filmed after the attacks on Kuhstak and shared them with Trevor Ball, a former U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal technician and analyst at Armament Research Services.
He identified the remnants of these bombs as components of a guided munition utilized by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)—and not by Iranian forces.
This stands in contrast to earlier claims by CENTCOM spokesperson Tim Hawkins that the U.S. military never targets civilians.
According to the article, a video released by CENTCOM on Tuesday also appears to show a JSOW bomb mounted under the wing of a U.S. fighter jet during takeoff, accompanied by a statement regarding strikes on targets in Iran.
