CNN found an impact crater at least 12 meters wide in the offices of Tehran.

The crater is just 30 meters from Gandhi Hospital. Verified videos from the period after the attack show shattered glass, collapsed walls and patients – including babies –. Satellite images show a communications tower at the broadcasting complex completely destroyed after the attack.
Wes Bryant, a former U.S. special forces tactical air controller, told CNN that “there’s no way this couldn’t have been at least something equivalent to a 2,000-pound bomb.”
