According to reports from Iran's IRNA, a joint airstrike carried out by the US and Israel targeted a girls' school in the city of Minab, located in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, leading to the tragic deaths of 36 students. This incident reportedly occurred during a recent military operation, heightening tensions in the region. The Iranian government has condemned the attack, viewing it as an aggressive act against its sovereignty.

In response to the airstrikes, Iran's Supreme National Security Council asserted that the US has collaborated with the 'Zionist regime' to carry out attacks in various locations within Iran. They claimed that these actions are intended to instill fear in the Iranian populace but emphasized that it would not succeed in pressuring the Iranian people. There is a clear signal from the Iranian authorities that they perceive these attacks as attempts to destabilize the nation.

As a precautionary measure following the airstrikes, the Iranian government has announced the closure of schools and colleges, and essential services will continue with limited staffing. This move is part of their strategy to reassure the public about the sufficiency of necessary supplies and services. Iranian armed forces have also initiated a counter-response to these airstrikes, indicating a potential escalation of military engagements in the region, as officials reiterated that they did not wish for conflict but would defend their territory.
