Now to a new video that's adding another layer to the investigation into the deadly

strike that hit a girl's elementary school in southern Iran. It happened at the start

of the joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes. Watch this. This video, posted by Iran's government-sponsored Mare News and verified by the New York Times

appears to show the moment a missile slams into a target near the town of Minob

You can hear as the explosion hits. The video is filmed from a nearby construction site
0:39
and according to CNN and ABC, ysts say the missile seen in the footage

closely matches the profile of a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile. Those missiles are operated by the U.S. Navy

and typically launched from warships or submarines. They're often used in the opening phase of military operations

before aircraft can gain full control of the space. The video appears to show the missile hitting a building inside or right next to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base

Iran says the strike killed more than 160 people, many of them children

The question of who is responsible remains politically charged. President Trump on Saturday blamed Iran itself, suggesting the strike was caused by inaccurate Iranian munitions

No, in my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran

Still investigating? But the only side that targets civilians is Iran. We think it was done by Iran
