New Videos Trace Two-Phase Strike on Minab IRGC Base and School

Bellingcat geolocated two new videos showing two separate missile strikes on an IRGC base in Minab and an adjacent school, suggesting two waves of attacks. The first wave appears to have hit near the school (which Iranian media says killed at least 175 people, including children), while the second wave hit an IRGC clinic and two additional buildings within the compound.
