Trump administration "looking into" reports that U.S.-made missile hit elementary school in Lamberd

A senior administration official said the Trump administration is "looking into" reports by the New York Times and BBC that a newly developed U.S. short-range ballistic missile hit a sports hall and elementary school in Lamberd in southern Iran on Feb. 28, the first day of the war. 

This is separate from the girls' school that was struck in Minab. CBS News has not independently confirmed the reports about Lamberd.

"We are aware of these reports and are looking into them," a senior administration official said. The official stressed that the U.S. does not target civilians.

A U.S. Central Command spokesperson told CBS News: "We're aware of the reports and are looking into them. U.S. forces do not indiscriminately target civilians, unlike the Iranian regime."
