Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media
The death toll from a missile strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran has risen to almost 150, according to Iranian state media.
Mizan news agency, the official news outlet of Iran’s judiciary, reported that the number killed in Saturday’s strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab in southern Iran had risen to 148 killed, with 95 others wounded. The news agency cited Ebrahim Taheri, a prosecutor in Minab.
The school, which was struck on Saturday morning, appears to be the worst mass casualty event of the US-Israeli-led bombing campaign on Iran so far.
Video and photographs from the aftermath of the strike, which have been verified as authentic and geolocated to the site, show hundreds of people gathered around the partially collapsed, smoking building, with rubble strewn across the street and men digging through it for victims. Screams can be heard in the background. In some of the images, schoolbags and textbooks are being pulled from the debris.
This is tragic and there needs to be answer for it.
It’s a girl’s school, it’s not a military target, there weren’t “militants” inside and this isn’t Hezbollah where they can claim it was being used as a base. What the fuck happened here, and who specifically is responsible?

Some videos show it appears to be a ballistic missle launch failure from a nearby launch site. The videos have not been verified. We likely won’t know for sure until after Iran’s regime falls.
Either way its a war crime, either the US/Israel struck a school, or Iran placed offensive missle launchers dangerously close to a school/city.
It was 60 meters next to a military base
And I don’t think we have missiles in our arsenal that are bad enough that they would miss a target by 60m. Maybe I’m wrong about that though.
This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.
