HIGHThreat Assessment
The NYT analysis reports that a US strike using a newly fielded Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) hit an Iranian sports hall and a school near a military compound in Lamerd, Iran, reportedly causing fatalities and hitting civilian infrastructure. This confirms direct US strikes on Iranian territory with untested weaponry, materially raising the risk of rapid escalation and broader regional retaliation in the ongoing Iran–Gulf State crisis.
