“Iran’s low-cost 358 missile takes out million-dollar US assets”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms that Iran has targeted US assets in the Middle East (BBC, web_search), and that the '358' missile is an Iranian SA-67 missile (Wikipedia, web_search). However, none of the provided sources specifically confirm that a '358 missile' *took out* or *damaged* US assets valued at millions, only that strikes occurred and the missile type exists. The claim makes a specific assertion of damage/value that is not corroborated by multiple independent sources.
