Iran claims Israel and the United States struck a girls' school – 57 victims

Iranian state media alleges that a girls' school in Minab was hit by airstrikes from Israel and the United States, resulting in significant casualties.

Iranian state media has reported that a girls' school in the southern city of Minab may have been the target of airstrikes attributed to Israel and the United States. According to the Iranian news outlet IRNA, the number of casualties from this alleged strike has risen to 57, with claims that many individuals have perished. This incident has drawn attention, but the information remains unverified due to the lack of access for Western media to the region.

The reports indicate that the strikes, which began on a Saturday, are purportedly aimed at Iranian missile launch sites as well as political leaders linked to the government. Both Israel and the United States have not confirmed the attack on the school, yet they were reported to be conducting airstrikes in the area. Furthermore, it is noted that three missiles reportedly struck the location, prompting ongoing efforts to search for victims among the rubble of the building.

Minab, which has surfaced in social media videos as one of the targeted areas, stands as a critical site in the context of escalating tensions in the region. The allegations, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in the conflicts involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, raising concerns about the safety of civilians in a volatile situation.
