开源研究组织Belling猫周四报告称,美国可能在伊朗南部设拉子附近的一个村庄上空投放了反坦克地雷,社交媒体上发布的图片似乎显示美国BLU-91/B可撒布反坦克地雷出现在设拉子南部郊区。
伊朗官方媒体报道称,飞机在该地区投下了”略大于金枪鱼罐头的爆炸物包”,其中一些在被触碰后发生爆炸。
伊朗国家电视台称,已有数人因这些装置死亡,并敦促公众向当局报告这些物品的位置,不要触碰它们。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻无法独立核实这些图片的真实性,美国中央司令部在被问及美国是否部署了这些弹药时拒绝置评。
Bellingcat援引三位独立武器专家的话说,伊朗官方媒体展示的弹药似乎是BLU-91/B地雷,由美国”鳄鱼”反坦克地雷系统投放。该组织指出,美国是伊朗战争中唯一已知拥有”鳄鱼”可撒布地雷系统(使用BLU-91/B装置)的一方。
人权观察组织危机、冲突与武器部门高级顾问理查德·韦尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,BLU-91/B反坦克地雷设计用于被大型车辆经过时触发,破坏地雷的磁场。
然而,韦尔警告说,这些地雷也可能被其他类型的车辆引爆,并且它们设有自毁装置,可能在投放数小时甚至数天后爆炸。
“所以这种地雷有很多不同的危险点,对任何发现它的人都非常危险,包括它可能在不知情的情况下自行引爆,”韦尔说。

BLU-91/B地雷是反车辆地雷,而非反人员地雷,后者根据《禁止使用、储存、生产和转让杀伤人员地雷及销毁此类地雷公约》被禁止。超过100个国家签署了该公约,尽管美国不是签署国。
“杀伤人员地雷通常更小,”韦尔解释说,”它们是由个人通过其存在或靠近武器而触发的装置。”
“反坦克和反车辆地雷虽然不受该条约本身的涵盖,但也带来类似的风险,因为它们对目标不加区分,”他说。
韦尔说,自1991年第一次海湾战争以来,美国没有以任何实质性方式使用反坦克地雷,自2002年在阿富汗以来也没有使用过杀伤人员地雷。
“这是非常罕见的情况,”韦尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,”因此其后果几乎总是造成更多平民伤害。而这些事情对受影响社区的影响不仅会持续数天甚至数月,而且往往会持续很多年。”
U.S. appears to drop anti-tank mines in Iranian village near Shiraz, analysts say
March 27, 2026 / 4:08 PM EDT / CBS News
The U.S. may have dropped anti-tank mines over a village in southern Iran, the open-source research group Bellingcat reported Thursday, as images posted on social media appeared to show American BLU-91/B scatterable anti-tank landmines in the southern suburbs of Shiraz.
Iranian state media reported that “explosive packages” slightly larger than tuna cans had been dropped by aircraft over the area, and that some had exploded after being handled.
Several people were killed by the devices, Iranian state TV said, and it urged members of the public to report the items’ locations to authorities and not touch them.
CBS News was unable to independently verify the images, and U.S. Central Command declined to comment when asked if the U.S. had deployed the munitions.
Bellingcat cited three independent weapons experts as saying the munitions shown by Iranian state media appeared to be BLU-91/B mines, which are delivered by American Gator anti-tank mine systems. It noted that the U.S. is the only party in the Iran war known to have Gator Scatterable Mines, the system that uses the BLU-91/B devices.
BLU-91/B anti-tank mines are designed to be triggered by a large vehicle driving by and disrupting the mine’s magnetic field, Richard Weir, a senior adviser in the Crisis, Conflict and Arms Division at Human Rights Watch, told CBS News.
Weir warned, however, that the mines could be detonated by other types of vehicles, and they have a self-destruct setting which could mean they explode hours or even days after being dropped.
“So there’s a number of different things about this mine that make it very dangerous for people who may come across it, anybody who comes across it, including the fact that it could just spontaneously detonate for anybody who’s nearby that doesn’t know it’s present,” Weir said.

The BLU-91/B mines are anti-vehicle mines, as opposed to anti-personnel mines, which are banned under the U.N. Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction. Over 100 countries are signatories of that convention, though the U.S. is not.
Anti-personnel mines “are typically smaller,” Weir said, explaining, “they are devices that are triggered by an individual, by their presence or their proximity to the weapon.”
“Anti-tank and anti-vehicle mines aren’t covered as part of the treaty itself, but they do present similar risks, because they don’t discriminate between their target,” he said.
The U.S. hasn’t used anti-tank mines in any meaningful way since the first Gulf War in 1991, Weir said, and it hasn’t used anti-personnel mines since 2002 in Afghanistan.
“This is something that is very rare,” Weir told CBS News. “And so the consequences of this are almost invariably more civilian harm. And these are the kinds of things, their effects for affected communities extend not just for days or even months but oftentimes for many, many years.”
