A BBC Verify investigation revealed last week that a new generation US Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) was likely used in a deadly strike that hit a residential area and sports hall in the Iranian town of Lamerd on the first day of the conflict, killing 21 people, including four children. U.S. Central Command then said in a statement that the US wasn't responsible for the strike, and that the missile seen in CCTV footage we verified was not a PrSM, but an Iranian Hoveyzeh cruise missile. So, this time we asked six weapons experts about the statement by Centcom. They all told us that visual evidence does not support Centcom's claim that an Iranian Hoveyzeh missile was used in the attack, citing the missile's visual features, the way it exploded, its trajectory and the number of strikes in the area as the basis for their analysis. Weapons experts maintain that evidence from dozens of photos and videos of the strike and its aftermath is consistent with their initial analysis that the US was likely responsible for the deadly strike on Lamerd.
