Mousa Mousavi – Lamerd and Mohr Representative in Iranian Parliament:
The debris pattern of this weapon—identified as a PRSM missile—indicates that it detonated in the air, releasing thousands of what are in effect pellets. I have brought a few of these pellets here so that viewers can see them. However, the full dimensions of the incident are still not entirely clear, in the sense that pellets—meaning fragments—do not ordinarily have this level of penetrating power, destructive force, and lethality. This will need to be clarified through further investigation and expert analysis.
These pellets had such velocity and penetrating power that they could pierce the human body with great force. Let me put it this way: the walls in Lamerd—throughout its neighborhoods—are filled with these pellets. You can observe how pellets of this size could have produced such a level of destruction. I have an image here that, in addition to doors and walls, shows a roof. If the camera can capture this image, it shows the roof: the yellow section you see is the steel beam of the house’s roof, specifically a size-14 beam. These pellets were able to completely bend and twist that beam.
There were four missiles. Three of them struck residential neighborhoods, and one, unfortunately, hit a sports hall where our teenagers were exercising, which resulted in the deaths of our loved ones.
Four missiles struck: three of them hit residential neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity of the hall, and one of them specifically and directly struck the hall itself.
Dear people of Fars, this is the martyr Avina Barzegar, a two-year-old child.
If I turn these pages, there is no shortage of images of these dear students before me. Martyr Ilya Khatami, an innocent student.
This is martyr Helma Sadat Ahmadi—one among many. Dear people, all of these martyrs, except for our two-year-old child, had gone to practice while fasting. Martyr Helma, in the sports hall, told her coach she felt weak because of fasting—it was near sunset. Her coach told her, “That’s fine, sit down; you don’t need to take part in the training.”
People, look at this elder martyr—Why did you kill her in her home and in the streets of Lamerd with missiles that you tested for the first time in Lamerd?
This is martyr Robab Dehdehashti. She was a nurse, helping the wounded in the hospital. Her husband, Mr. Qasemi, saw his wife’s body in the hospital emergency ward. Their daughter was also injured, lying on a stretcher beside her. Mr. Qasemi did not cry out or lament; he stood until morning in the radiology department—his workplace—serving the wounded.
I apologize to the other families of the dear martyrs of Lamerd—there were 21 martyrs—that…
Reporter and Witnesses:
Reporter: These were missiles with dispersing fragments that detonate in the air before reaching their target, breaking into numerous pieces. Before hitting the ground, they explode at a height of about ten meters and, like an automatic weapon, begin firing in all directions around them.
Witness: I saw two missiles descending from above, and explosions occurring at high altitude.
Reporter: Residential homes—walls near the site of the explosion, and even the asphalt ground beside the sports hall in Lamerd—were riddled with holes.
Official Interviewed: Buildings that were hit, despite the fragments being small, show clear damage; if you look, you can see that even the roof of the structures was torn apart. All the victims of this incident were exposed to these dispersing fragments. You can imagine: if these missiles can do this to buildings and asphalt, what they do to the human body.
Reporter: In this attack, 130 people were injured and 21 were killed. The youngest was Avina Barzegar, only two years old.
Avina’s Mother: Avina was playing in the garden of her home. The initial fragment struck her—she was only looking.
Reporter: Lamerd is one of the closest points to the Persian Gulf.
