Reports say US PrSM missile killed civilians in Lamerd, target unclear
x/islamic-republic-of-iran
— Aug 31, 2026
Airwars and the Associated Press mapped the Lamerd strikes and found that US-made Precision Strike Missiles killed civilians up to 50 meters from detonation and caused damage far beyond that radius, prompting warnings from weapons experts that such missiles should not be used near populated areas. The US military has acknowledged using PrSMs in Iran but denies striking Lamerd, while analysts emphasize the weapon’s midair fragmentation and potential for widespread harm as production continues for broader use.

If the Pentagon is denying it hit Lamerd while also confirming PrSM use in Iran, someone's math isn't adding up.
