Claim 1: “US missiles killed at least 156 people at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran”
VERIFIED
The evidence confirms a US-Israeli war on Iran began on February 28, 2026. Multiple sources confirm high casualties; specifically, Al Jazeera reports at least 3,468 killed since the start, and the Minab school bombing (part of the onset) killed between 168 and 170 people. The claim that 'at least 156 people' were killed is mathematically supported by the specific casualty counts of the Minab attack and the overall war toll.
