Iranian authorities claim that more than 100 people were killed in attacks by Israel on two schools in Iran, with a significant incident occurring at a girls' school in Minab.
Iranian officials report that Israel has attacked two schools in Iran, resulting in over 100 fatalities, a claim that escalates tensions in the region. The most severe incident reportedly took place at Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, where 108 people were killed and 63 injured. This attack, described as part of a broader American-Israeli offensive against Iran, has prompted outrage from Tehran, with officials highlighting the tragedy of innocent lives lost.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, condemned the assaults, sharing images from the aftermath and asserting that ‘innocent children’ had been killed. He expressed that these actions would not go unpunished, calling for international attention to the violence against Iranian citizens. Another school, located east of Tehran, was also reportedly struck, leading to additional casualties among students, indicating a worrying trend of civilian-targeted violence amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
In response to the attacks, Iran's Foreign Ministry labeled them a blatant crime and appealed for intervention from the United Nations Security Council. Notably, the United States and Israel have yet to comment on the claims made by Iranian officials regarding the alleged assaults on schools. The ongoing rescue efforts in Minab highlight the immediate humanitarian crisis developing in the aftermath of these attacks, raising concerns over civilian safety in conflict-afflicted regions of Iran.
