Today, US CENTCOM posted a video showing B-52 bombers that had struck Iran within the first 100 hours, loaded with JASSMs.

Several remnants of the US JASSM cruise missile were posted by Iranian media yesterday, such as these pictures.

A manufacturing date on a single component does not mean the missile was assembled at that time. This just determines the oldest possible a munition could be. You can put a component made in 2000 in a missile you assemble in 2005.
Good reminder these munitions have toxic metals (yellow).
This Patriot remnant was posted with the claim it was manufactured in 2000, and a 26 year old missile.
The 2000 date, and information in the red box is related to the classification of the component, not the production dates.

Since this article and thread, remnants of more munitions, and false claims have continued to appear. Short thread of some I saw yesterday:
US SM-3 Blk 1 series missile debris (MK 104 DTRM, second stage rocket motor) found in Turkey, following a US interception

A satellite imagery analysis conducted by Bellingcat shows that at least 15 police stations or police-related buildings were targeted in strikes conducted in Tehran between March 1 and March 3. www.bellingcat.com/news/middle-...
There is smoke rising from the vicinity US Consulate in Dubai after it was allegedly struck by an Iranian drone a short while ago.

This article references the
@munitionsportal.bsky.social quite a bit. Many of the munitions being used have been used in prior conflicts covered by the OSMP.
The OSMP has launched their collection page with munitions from this war.

Remnants of a Iron Dome Tamir interceptor missile have also appeared online. t.co/CxPhZ8Ukn1
A video is going around falsely claiming to be from a Iranian drone that hit Cyprus. This is actually reused footage from Ukraine, as a close up photo of the same remnant was published in an article in 2024.

As the war enters it's fourth day, more remnants and misinformation continues to be posted online. There's a couple that didn't make it into the article.
Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Remnants of the actuator section of an Iranian MIM-23 HAWK air defense missile, reportedly found near Ahvaz, Iran. These US made missiles were given to Iran decades again.
AGM-154 JSOW
500-pound bombs with JDAM guidance kits.
BLU-109 2,000-pound "bunker busters" with JDAM guidance kits.
Tomahawk missile launching, with smoke trails visible from prior launches
DoD has posted several photos of munitions being loading onto aircraft participating in strikes again Iran, including JSOWs, 500-pound bombs, 2,000-pound 'bunker busters', and several Tomahawks being launched by the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. These photos were taken February 28 according to DVIDS.
Short thread about some of the many incidents where civilians have already been caught in the crossfire following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and Iran retaliatory drone and ballistic missile attacks.
Further damage from Pakistan airstirkes visible in Feb 27 2026 SkySat imagery from @planet.com in Kandahar, as noted by @easybakeovensz.bsky.social.
First set of images show destroyed warehouses near 31.4766, 65.8707.
Second set is to the west and shows destroyed buildings near 31.4794, 65.8516.

Pakistan bombed Kabul overnight, as well as two other provinces, as tensions rose with Afghanistan’s Taliban government. Planet SkySat imagery obtained by Bellingcat shows the aftermath of the strikes on a military base in Kabul.
With @evidentmedia.org and Hind Hassan we detail the part American-made munitions play in Israel’s operations in Gaza. We collected data on the use of three munitions produced solely in the US and found hospitals, schools, homes and civilian infrastructure were hit. www.youtube.com/shorts/5J8M9...

In 2024 drone incursions at the US-Mexico border were estimated at over 1,000 a month without airspace closures.
Bodies being "disintegrated" by explosions is very real, but it's from the pressure created, not any heat or thermal effects. There's also plenty evidence of this in videos from Gaza and other conflict zones, but this AJ article gets the fundamental science entirely wrong.
https://armscontrol.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/thermobaric-weapons.pdf
This quote about "obliterating matter" isn't unique to thermobaric explosives, it's the same effect from the shock wave.
The shock wave from thermobaric explosions typically last longer, but don't reach as high of a peak pressure as conventional explosives.
Here's a screenshot from Rachel Lance's great article about what explosions do to a human body here:
www.wired.com/story/russia...
This AJ article is wrong about explosions and explosives in several fundamental ways. This "phenomenon" the article mentions is due to the shock wave caused by the explosions, not due to the heat generated.

Typically 500m distances are given in Lebanon. 100m is much lower than several different standards or measurements for a safe distance of a 2,000 pound bomb, including a USMC "danger close" standard.

MK-84 2,000-pound bomb with a JDAM kit hitting a building in Gaza after an IDF notice.
Bellingcat recently asked the IDF about the lack of evacuation distances in public evacuation notices in Gaza, which are included in notices in Lebanon, so interesting to see a 100m distance in the notice here.
