Shajareh Tayyebeh school hit by U.S. strike in Iran

Shajareh Tayyebeh school Minab airstrike US-Iran conflict civilian casualties Pentagon investigation

An Associated Press investigation indicates that at least one U.S. missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, southern Iran, on February 28, the first day of the war on Iran. The strike resulted in significant loss of life; while some reports suggest approximately 120 children were killed, Iranian state media has reported a total of 168 fatalities, most of whom were children.

Families in Minab are currently mourning at the site, which has become a memorial for the students and teachers killed in the blast. The Trump administration has not accepted responsibility for the incident, nor has it released the findings of a Pentagon investigation into the strike.
