Overview
- Iranian state media describe the attack on the Shajareye Tayabeh primary school in Minab as causing one of the highest civilian death tolls reported in the conflict, with most victims said to be students.
- Casualty figures have shifted sharply across outlets, with earlier updates citing roughly 40 to 85 dead and about 60 wounded before the latest claim of at least 148 fatalities.
- Attribution varies in Iranian reporting, with some accounts blaming Israel and others citing both the United States and Israel, while responsibility has not been independently confirmed.
- Il Post reports that a U.S. Central Command spokesperson said the incident will be investigated, and the Israeli military offered no comment.
- The school sits about 600 meters from an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base, and separate reporting noted a strike on Tehran’s Hedayat high school the same day that killed two students.
