Reports suggest that the USA may have been responsible for a deadly attack on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, resulting in the death of at least 150 students on the first day of the ongoing conflict. The information comes from sources familiar with the investigation shared with Reuters, although the exact circumstances and the identity of the aggressor remain unverified by independent parties. The technical details regarding the specific weapon used and the level of responsibility attributed to the US military are still under investigation.

Despite the assertion of probable US involvement from military investigators, the investigation is not yet concluded. This means that new evidence could emerge that may absolve the USA or point to another party as responsible for the attack. The school building is located near facilities associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which adds a layer of complexity to the investigation. Analysts caution that further developments may arise as more information comes to light.

Additionally, it has been reported by UNICEF that at least 180 children have died as a result of the conflict in Iran since it began, including those from the Minab school. Many of the victims were reportedly aged between seven to twelve years. This tragic event underscores the dire impact of the ongoing violence on the most vulnerable population—children—and emphasizes the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, as well as international scrutiny of methods employed in warfare that affect civilian structures and populations.
