Al Jazeera report says satellite evidence suggests strike on Iran girls’ school was likely deliberate; US rejects claim
Iranian authorities report over 160 killed at a girls' school during US-Israel strikes; the incident raises concerns over possible deliberate targeting amid military operations.
- During US‑Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, killing 165 mostly girls aged 7–12, Iranian authorities said.
- Al Jazeera's review found the school was separated from the Sayyid al‑Shuhada/IRGC complex since 2016, with independent gates and walls, and the Martyr Absalan Clinic opened in 2025 with a separate entrance.
- Spatial mapping indicates two Telegram video clips show separate smoke columns from the military base and the girls' school, with the clinic left undamaged, according to Al Jazeera's geolocation analysis.
- The U.N. human rights office urged forces behind the attack on a girls' school to investigate, with Rubio saying US forces 'would not deliberately target a school.'
- The wider campaign has killed over 500 people across Iran and targeted at least 131 cities, with observers warning the toll may rise amid ongoing bombardments and questions about intelligence accuracy.
