A tragic incident in Iran's Minab region has brought international attention to the suspected attack on a primary school and a nearby Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base. Satellite imagery analysis indicates that multiple strikes were made, leading to significant damage and casualties.
Verified videos and satellite images reveal extensive damage at the Shajareh Tayebeh primary school and the adjacent IRGC compound. The attack, which occurred on Saturday, is reported to have killed 168 people, primarily children. The IRGC has accused the US and Israel, though neither has accepted responsibility.
Satellite imagery captured four days after the incident shows widespread destruction, with several buildings destroyed or heavily damaged. Munitions experts suggest the area was struck by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes, indicating an intentional target. The exact responsible party remains unclear, with the US Defense Secretary stating an ongoing investigation but denying any targeting of civilian sites.
The attack has led to calls for international investigation and has drawn attention to the humanitarian crisis. The school, which had 264 students, is now mostly destroyed. The international community has expressed concern over the rising number of civilian casualties in the conflict.
