US land mines seen scattered in Iran pose ‘extreme danger’ to civilians

Photos shared online on Thursday appear to show US land mines scattered in a residential area of Iran — something experts say could mark the first time in over 20 years that American forces have deployed the weapons, which are known for being “extremely dangerous” to civilians, according to human rights groups. At least one person has been killed by the mines, and several wounded, said Iranian media, warning the public to steer clear of the can-like objects.
