1:17Now PlayingAir-dropped mines found in Kafari, near Shiraz in southern Iran, appear to be U.S.-made Gator anti-tank munitions, according to Bellingcat, with several people reported killed by Iranian media.
Experts identified the devices as BLU-91/B mines delivered via cluster munitions, with debris indicating aerial deployment. The mines appear intended to deny access to a nearby Iranian “missile city” by blocking vehicle movement and preventing repair or recovery operations.
🔸Importantly, the U.S. is the only actor in the war known to possess Gator Scatterable Mines.
The mines can reportedly detonate if disturbed and include delayed self-destruct features, posing ongoing risks to civilians.
The Pentagon did not respond to Bellingcat’s request for comment.
