Summary
On February 28, 2026, the Shajareh-Tayebeh school in Minab, Iran, was bombed during military operations involving the United States and Israel. The attack resulted in the deaths of 168 individuals, including at least eight children, as confirmed by Iranian authorities. Satellite images indicate that the school was intentionally targeted, raising serious concerns about military engagement protocols in civilian areas. Images analyzed reveal the presence of children among the victims, highlighting the tragic consequences of the bombing. Eyewitness accounts and evidence suggest that the school was operational at the time of the attack, contradicting claims that it was a military target. The Iranian media reported that the area was associated with the Guardian of the Revolution, complicating the narrative surrounding the bombing. Investigations into the incident have been hampered by an internet blackout in Iran, making it difficult to verify casualty figures and the circumstances of the attack. Despite the lack of admission of responsibility from U.S. and Israeli authorities, evidence points to their involvement in the military actions that led to the bombing. The situation raises critical questions about accountability and the ethical implications of targeting locations with civilian populations.
