China donates $200,000 to families of Iran school strike victims

China will provide $200,000 in humanitarian aid to Iran’s Red Crescent for compensation to families of students killed in a missile strike on a girls’ school in Minab.

  • On Friday, Beijing's Foreign Ministry announced the Chinese Red Cross Society will donate $200,000 to the Iranian Red Crescent Society for "condolences and compensations" to parents of students killed in a missile strike on a girls' elementary school in Minab.
  • Rescue workers in Minab searched rubble after a missile struck the girls' elementary school early in the Middle East war. Tehran has accused the United States and Israel of conducting the attack, though independent verification of the toll and circumstances remains limited.
  • The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a U.S. Tomahawk missile struck the school due to a targeting mistake. A U.S. military investigation is under way while AFP has been unable to access the site to independently verify circumstances.
  • Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun called the strike a "severe violation" of international humanitarian law, stating "Attacks on schools and children constitute a more severe violation" and breaching human conscience. He pledged China would "continue providing necessary assistance to Iran in a humanitarian spirit."
  • Iranian media reported funerals were held for at least 165 people, including children, killed in the strike. Iran Guards said they targeted a U.S. base in the UAE in response, while Israel denied any involvement in the school attack.
