Families Grieve in the Ruins of an Iranian School Where a US Strike Killed Dozens of Children
Associated Press investigation says at least one U.S. missile hit the school, while the Trump administration has not accepted blame or released findings.
- On Monday, Sept. 7, Iranian officials released a video memorializing victims of the Feb. 28 American airstrike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, which Iranian state media said killed 168 people, including around 120 students and 26 teachers and staff.
- Around 9 a.m. on Feb. 28, news of airstrikes on Tehran's compound prompted teachers at the school to call parents for early pickup; the first missile struck about an hour later, with banners indicating three missiles hit the building.
- Sadeghi's 11-year-old grandson Hami and 9-year-old granddaughter Nila, along with their mother and teacher Neda Salehizadeh, were killed; second-grade teacher Nasim Neyestani died protecting eight children in the schoolyard, according to her mother Fatemeh Barani.
- The damaged school will be preserved as a war museum, with government-sponsored mourning ceremonies held every evening where families share stories about those killed, each grave marked with a photo of the dead.
- An Associated Press investigation found at least one U.S. missile struck the school, yet the Trump administration has not released Pentagon findings or publicly accepted responsibility; three children remain unaccounted for, their bodies never recovered.
