Evidence Suggests the Deadly Blast at an Iranian School Was Likely a US Airstrike
More than 165 people, mostly children, died in an explosion at an Iranian school next to a Revolutionary Guard compound, likely caused by U.S. airstrikes targeting military sites.
- On Feb. 28, Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab was struck, killing at least 165 people, most of them children, with satellite imagery suggesting a U.S. airstrike also hit the adjacent IRGC compound.
- Situated next to an IRGC compound, the school lies about 150 meters from Assef Brigades living quarters, while U.S. naval forces including the USS Abraham Lincoln operate within range, prompting an assessment.
- Imagery analysts say the pattern is consistent with air-to-surface impacts clustered within the walled compound, with satellite imagery reviewed Wednesday showing multiple buildings, including the school, struck by precise munitions.
- The United Nations secretary-general and international rights groups condemned the strike, while the U.S. military launched an investigation and neither country accepted responsibility, verified by a local cemetery with fresh graves.
- Calls for probing the incident have intensified as analysts and U.S. lawmakers press for findings while Airwars and the Human Rights Activists News Agency review other school strikes.
