The United States military is scattering landmines from the air near Iranian missile bases to hunt launchers, and Iranian media has already reported civilian casualties.
The accusations first came on March 26 from Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, which shared photos of what appear to be BLU-91/B scatterable anti-tank landmines.
“These explosive packages resemble ready-made canned food, are somewhat larger than tuna cans, and contain explosives that detonate after being opened, causing casualties,” Tasnim wrote on Telegram. “These packages have been dropped in the skies over the southern suburbs of Shiraz, especially in the village of Kafari, and unfortunately have caused the martyrdom of several people in these areas.”
Canadian lawyer and activist Dimitri Lascaris — who is currently in Shiraz in the southwestern Iranian province of Fars — shared footage showing the remains of similar landmines that exploded right between homes in Kafari, and at least three others some two kilometers away from the entrance to what is reported to be Shiraz South Missile Base, an Iranian “missile city.”
The landmines were likely scattered there to hit any launcher leaving the base, which had been already bombarded by the U.S.
This is the first time such a weapon has been used against Iran since the start of the American-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic around a month ago.

The BLU-91/B is a part of the U.S. military’s GATOR mine system, mainly used with two dispenser systems — the Navy 230 kg CBU-78/B and the Air Force 450 kg CBU-89/B.
The mine is a low flat cylinder with a rectangular aeroballistic shell. A magnetic sensor in the mine detects potential targets. When a suitable target reaches the most vulnerable approach point it detonates the mine. The mine is also triggered if the mine is moved, or if the battery reaches a certain low voltage point.
Once the fuse is triggered, a small clearing charge is fired in order to clear any debris that may be on top of the mine. A second larger charge is triggered 30 ms later, creating an explosively formed penetrator capable of penetrating up to 70 mm of armor.
The mine weighs around 1.95 kilograms and is 127 millimeters in diameter, with 580 grams of an RDX and Estane explosive mix.
The CBU-78/B could carry up to 45 such mines, while the larger CBU-89/B can carry 72. The latter can be also equipped with the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser guidance tail kit, which includes a GPS-aided inertial navigation system. It became a precision-guided munition designated as CBU-104, with a range up to 20 kilometers.
In use these bombs are dropped from aircraft flying at speeds between 370 and 1,300 kilometers per hour, and at altitudes of between 100 and 1,200 meters.
An FMU-140/B fuse controls the opening of the dispenser at one of 10 predetermined altitudes between 90 meters and 900 meters using a doppler ranging radar or alternatively a 1.2 second timer.
Mine arming begins when the dispenser opens with the activation of the mines’ vanadium pentoxide batteries. Once the mines reach the ground they become armed between 1.2 and 10 seconds. The mines self-destruct after a preset time which can be set to 4 hours, 15 hours or 15 days. Any that do not will become disabled after 40 days when the batteries discharge fully.
Such mines are highly dangerous, as their failure leaves explosives behind, and they cannot distinguish between a combatant and a civilian while active.

The use of these mines shows that the U.S. and Israel have failed to completely destroy missile cities like the Shiraz South Missile Base, which remain active.
It also indicates that the two allies are incapable of maintaining aerial presence over such bases, via fighter jets or combat drones, around the clock.

“loš znak na nebu iznad tel aviva, predskazanje propasti” na hiljade vrana leti iznad zgrada, nebo postalo crno, mnogi se setili otkrovenja jovanovog (video)

nebo iznad tel aviva u utorak je bilo preplavljeno “morem” vrana, što su mnogi opisali kao upozorenje i kao biblijski “predznak propasti”
slušaj vest
04:28
hiljade vrana snimljeno je kako kruže oko visokih zgrada iznad tel aviva, uključujući čuvenu kulu izrael, u dramatičnom snimku koji je brzo postao viralan na internetu.
mnogi posmatrači povezali su ovu jezivu scenu sa aktuelnim tenzijama izraela i irana, tvrdeći da “događaj najavljuje nadolazeću katastrofu”
– mnogi ovo smatraju “predskazanjem propasti”, jer često prethodi totalnoj katastrofi – napisao je jedan korisnik na platformi iks, dok su drugi ovo povezali sa biblijskom proročanstvom.
naveli su knjigu otkrivenja jovanovog 19:17, koja opisuje anđela koji stoji na suncu i viče pticama u letu da se okupe za “veliku gozbu božju”.
krug ptica stvorio je tamne, promenljive oblake nad gradskim pejzažom, ostavljajući stanovnike i posmatrače zatečenim veličinom migracije.
međutim, naučnici koji proučavaju ptice tvrde da fenomen nije natprirodan, već deo rutinske sezonske migracije duž jedne od najprometnijih ptičjih ruta na svetu.
stručnjaci su istakli da godišnje kroz izrael prođe oko 500 miliona ptica tokom prolećne migracije, pri čemu se vrane često okupljaju u urbanim područjima tokom perioda gnežđenja. vrane su veoma česte u izraelu, naročito vrana sa kapuljačom.
velike migracije vrana u izraelu često se dešavaju tokom proleća, sa zapažanjima hiljada vrana koje napuštaju gradska područja poput tel aviva u martu, što je često povezano sa sezonskim promenama ponašanja, ekološkim faktorima ili uznemiravanjem.
iako su naučnici rekli da je dramatičan prizor bio rutinska migracija, mnogi korisnici društvenih mreža tvrde da iza ogromne grupe vrana stoji nešto zlokobnije.
– ovo je najgori mogući predznak na civilizacijskom nivou – napisao je jedan korisnik na x.
– ovo se još uvek ozbiljno shvata u engleskoj, a rimljani bi zbog ovakvog znaka zaustavili čitave ratove.
u starom rimu, sveštenici poznati kao auguri pažljivo su posmatrali nebo, tumačeći obrasce leta i krikove ptica kao poruke bogova koje mogu uticati na odluke o ratu, vođstvu i velikim javnim događajima.
velika ili neobična okupljanja ptica često su se smatrala zloslutnim upozorenjima o nevoljama koje dolaze.
drugi su ukazali na poznate gavrane u londonskoj kuli, povezane sa vekovima starom legendom koja kaže da će britansko kraljevstvo pasti ako ptice ikada napuste tvrđavu.
najmanje šest gavrana stalno boravi u kuli, a o njima brine posvećeni “ravenmaster” kako bi se tradicija očuvala.
ova dugogodišnja verovanja doprinela su savremenim tumačenjima neobičnog ponašanja ptica kao simboličkih upozorenja, iako naučnici ističu da fenomen ima prirodna objašnjenja.
ova pojava dolazi u trenutku kada je američki predsednik donald trampodobrio raspoređivanje više od 1.000 vojnika iz 82. vazdušno-desantne divizije na bliski istok, prema dva izvora koja je citirao nbc news.
tramp je takođe rekao da pregovori sa iranom i dalje traju. ipak, iranje osporio američke tvrdnje o diplomatskom napretku, mada je jedan visoki zvaničnik naveo da su razmenjivane poruke sa posrednicima.
više od 2.000 ljudi je poginulo širom bliskog istoka dok sukob ulazi u četvrtu nedelju. izraelski i američki napadi na iran odneli su više od 1.200 života, prema crvenom polumesecu irana.
najmanje 1.000 smrtnih slučajeva prijavljeno je u libanu, dok je u izraelu stradalo 17 ljudi.
sukob je takođe odneo živote 13 američkih vojnika, a još dva pripadnika vojske preminula su od razloga nevezanih za borbu.
americunts believe but plugs are missiles cuz we all full of shit
ussa and shitrael vs iranian granite mountains: 0:10
ugly stupid americunts fail–primorsk oil exports resume normally after failed via attack😂…inferior species monkey americunts licking hebrew peniz
