Funerals Honor 160 Schoolgirls Killed in Minab School Strike
Thousands gathered in Minab, southern Iran, on Tuesday for funerals after a strike on February 28 destroyed Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school, killing 153 to 168 people—mostly young students, plus teachers and parents. Iran calls it a deliberate US-Israeli airstrike in the early days of Operation Roaring Lion; the US denies targeting civilians, Israel points to possible IRGC involvement, and the UN urges an investigation into potential war crimes. The tragedy, near a Revolutionary Guard base, highlights the conflict's human toll as casualties surpass 700.
