According to CCTV International Times, the US “New York Times” recently revealed that various analysis results showed that during an air strike on Qeshm Island in southern Iran on July 30, the US military dropped a heavy bomb on a densely populated residential area with no military facilities, causing 3 deaths. The report said that by analyzing the craters, ammunition fragments, and damage to buildings shown in satellite images and news images, several military experts determined that this was a Mark-84 bomb equipped with satellite guidance, leaving a crater with a diameter of at least 9 meters at the site of the air strike. According to information, this bomb weighs more than 900 kilograms and is one of the largest conventional bombs for the US military. According to the report, a US Central Command spokesperson said that an investigation was being carried out on reports of civilian casualties caused by the air strike, but did not answer questions such as what the US military targeted this air strike, what kind of ammunition was used, and whether measures were taken to prevent civilian casualties; it only claimed that the US military's actions “never targeted civilians.”
