Image Confirms Minab Graves From Airstrikes

Snopes confirms on March 4, 2026, that an aerial photograph shared by Iranian officials shows graves of people killed in the Feb. 28 U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Minab, Iran. Researchers used Google Maps, Google Earth satellite imagery, Reuters drone footage, and government photos to geolocate the Minab Hermud cemetery and match features such as a blue-roofed building. The verification counters online claims misattributing the image to 2021 pandemic burials in Jakarta or São Paulo.
