Trump's assertion here that the Tomahawk is "generic" and that "Iran has some Tomahawks" is absurd and a lie. The only party to this conflict that operates the Tomahawk is the United States. Read our analysis into the Tomahawk strike in Minab here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab. It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

There are nearly 30 verified images of Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs) in the OSMP archive, including from Syria, the U.S. bombing campaign in Yemen last year, and the ongoing Iran war. See them all here: osmp.ngo/model/tomaha... bsky.app/profile/bell...

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Two experts told me they hadn't seen a bomb before in Israeli service, that it could be a bomb designed to destroy chemical weapons. The US and IDF declined to answer specific questions about it, including if they assessed Iran had a chemical weapons program. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Since this article and thread, remnants of more munitions, and false claims have continued to appear. Short thread of some I saw yesterday: US SM-3 Blk 1 series missile debris (MK 104 DTRM, second stage rocket motor) found in Turkey, following a US interception www.turkiyetoday.com/region/turki...

A satellite imagery analysis conducted by Bellingcat shows that at least 15 police stations or police-related buildings were targeted in strikes conducted in Tehran between March 1 and March 3. www.bellingcat.com/news/middle-...

There is smoke rising from the vicinity US Consulate in Dubai after it was allegedly struck by an Iranian drone a short while ago. Geolocation of the video filming location below from @easybakeovensz.bsky.social: 25.259, 55.318 t.me/sepah_quds/2...

As the war enters it's fourth day, more remnants and misinformation continues to be posted online. There's a couple that didn't make it into the article.

Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Remnants of the actuator section of an Iranian MIM-23 HAWK air defense missile, reportedly found near Ahvaz, Iran. These US made missiles were given to Iran decades again.

DoD has posted several photos of munitions being loading onto aircraft participating in strikes again Iran, including JSOWs, 500-pound bombs, 2,000-pound 'bunker busters', and several Tomahawks being launched by the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. These photos were taken February 28 according to DVIDS.

Short thread about some of the many incidents where civilians have already been caught in the crossfire following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and Iran retaliatory drone and ballistic missile attacks.

Further damage from Pakistan airstirkes visible in Feb 27 2026 SkySat imagery from @planet.com in Kandahar, as noted by @easybakeovensz.bsky.social. First set of images show destroyed warehouses near 31.4766, 65.8707. Second set is to the west and shows destroyed buildings near 31.4794, 65.8516.

Pakistan bombed Kabul overnight, as well as two other provinces, as tensions rose with Afghanistan’s Taliban government. Planet SkySat imagery obtained by Bellingcat shows the aftermath of the strikes on a military base in Kabul.

With @evidentmedia.org and Hind Hassan we detail the part American-made munitions play in Israel’s operations in Gaza. We collected data on the use of three munitions produced solely in the US and found hospitals, schools, homes and civilian infrastructure were hit. www.youtube.com/shorts/5J8M9...

In 2024 drone incursions at the US-Mexico border were estimated at over 1,000 a month without airspace closures.

This AJ article is wrong about explosions and explosives in several fundamental ways. This "phenomenon" the article mentions is due to the shock wave caused by the explosions, not due to the heat generated. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

MK-84 2,000-pound bomb with a JDAM kit hitting a building in Gaza after an IDF notice. Bellingcat recently asked the IDF about the lack of evacuation distances in public evacuation notices in Gaza, which are included in notices in Lebanon, so interesting to see a 100m distance in the notice here.

My latest covering some of the strikes using US-made munitions used in Gaza.

This is probably a Skat Shell fired at a high angle. A Skat Shell dispenses four different submunitions when fired that each emit smoke or chemical irritant.

Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) cleared two unexploded MK-82 500-pound bombs they say were dropped in December 2025. One of the bombs has a M905 tail fuze which is visibly damaged.

On a related note, per diem rates for a federal employee in Minneapolis is $240 a day, not counting rental cars. 3,000 agents being sent to Minneapolis for immigration raids at $240 each is $720,000 a day just for per diem.

Frag damage from a M42/M46 submunition that exploded during UXO clearance operations using a excavator with an electromagnet at Chok Pouk Village Cambodia by the Cambodian Mine Action Center. Thailand has used some cluster munitions in border skirmishes.

Bellingcat has further analysed videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. The footage shows an agent wearing a black beanie step behind Pretti. His right arm then appears to recoil at the same time the first shot is heard.

CBS News says a CBP "preliminary review" of the Alex Pretti shooting states that Pretti's gun wasn't fired, and two different agents fired shots, confirming what @bellingcat.com and the NYT both reported based on video analysis.

Pepperball guns, tasers and tear gas are among the weapons recently deployed against protesters in the US. In a new guide, @easybakeovensz.bsky.social details some of the “less-lethal” equipment federal agents have carried during the current immigration raids. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

This fake AI "enhanced" photo is going around. AI "enhancement" doesn't actually enhance things. It invents many fake "details" where none exist. The gun AI invented here doesn't match Pretti's, and the agent has no face. Bellingcat comparison of the real screenshot, and photo of the gun:

Three-way video sync and slow+zoom showing the moment of the first shot before Alex Pretti was killed by DHS agents in Minneapolis yesterday. There's some claims that Pretti's gun was the source of the first shot after it was taken from him, though in these videos it doesn't appear that's the case.

Top administration officials have started to claim today that "nobody" can tell if Pretti was armed when he was shot 10 times by federal agents. Videos released yesterday clearly showing Pretti's gun was removed from it's holster by a federal agent before he was shot.

First sign I’ve seen lately of an HC white smoke grenade. In Portland not MN. To be honest these should be banned. But their unhealthy aspects are often being exaggerated or misinterpreted.

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

A lot of official statements seem to be suggesting that concealed carry consisting of two (or multiple) magazines is intent. (DHS also only claims 2 magazines, not 3). Some of the most popular concealed carry holsters have a spot to carry a second magazine next to the gun, among other options.

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

A new report from the OPCW IIT concludes Syrian forces, particularly Assad's Tiger Forces, were responsible for the October 2016 chlorine attack on Kafr Zita www.opcw.org/sites/defaul...

This is a Defense Technology "Pocket Tactical Green Smoke" which uses their "Saf-Smoke" composition. Saf-Smoke is a Terephthalic acid (TP) smoke composition, which is less toxic than hexachloroethane. Neither are nerve agents.

We’ve annotated this satellite imagery from January 20th to show the proximity of where the journalists using a drone were killed to the displacement camps and the nearest IDF outposts in Gaza. The Yellow Line is where Israeli troops withdrew to following the US-brokered deal with Hamas.

Good thread by Dan on what a nerve agent is and isn't in light of false claims ICE is using nerve agents in Minnesota. Federal agents have been using smoke compounds containing CS, OC, as well as "SAF-SMOKE." None of which are remotely close to nerve agents.

US-made Hellfire missile remnant found after a strike in Nuseirat Camp, Gaza that reportedly killed PIJ Al-Quds Commander Ashraf Al-Khatib Abu Adnan and his wife. Thread by Anno Nemo has geolocation and sources:

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

Our partner @evidentmedia.org has also published a short video on our analysis here: www.youtube.com/shorts/ETSQd...

Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

We identified remnants of an AGM-88 series missile inside a three-storey apartment complex that was hit in Catia La Mar during the US military raid on Venezuela on Jan. 3, 2026, that reportedly killed at least one civilian. youtube.com/shorts/zQWPy...

New footage from the ICE agent's phone who shot at Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis has emerged, posted by AlphaNews on X. We've placed that footage in a synced timeline with the other currently available footage.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Bellingcat has identified remnants of a US missile visible inside a three-storey apartment complex, hit during the US military raid to capture President Maduro on Jan 3, 2026. The strike reportedly killed at least one civilian in Venezuela. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

The US military conducted an operation on Jan 3 to capture President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela. Bellingcat geolocated videos of helicopters involved in the raid, piecing together potential movements of the assault force
