AP Reconstructs Minab School Strike That Killed 123 Children
AP says investigators found 157 dead, including 123 children, and 95 to 111 injured after multiple munitions hit the school compound.
- Drawing from open-source data, satellite imagery, and confidential interviews with families and rescue workers, The Associated Press reconstructed the devastating February 2026 U.S. missile strike on a primary school in Minab, Iran, to uncover previously hidden details about the tragedy.
- Independent tracking organizations and local medical officials estimate that the catastrophic double-tap strike claimed the lives of over 150 people, including at least 120 young children under the age of 12 who were inside their classrooms when the building collapsed.
- The Trump administration has not released findings from its Pentagon investigation despite possessing evidence of the strike, while Amnesty International wrote that Iranian authorities exploited the tragedy for propaganda purposes.
- Sen. Mike Rounds, a Republican from South Dakota, said Congress has not received sufficient information on the bombing, noting the issue 'has not gone away' for oversight committees.
