Iran Converts Minab School into Memorial After Early War Strike Killed ChildrenPreviousNext

A school in Minab, Iran, struck in early February during US and Israeli military actions, is being converted into a memorial for over 100 children reportedly killed in the attack. The damaged building remains as it was, with calls to preserve it as a historical site. Iranian officials link this strike to a recent US attack on a wedding in nearby Sirik, emphasizing civilian casualties. The US has not formally accepted responsibility or released related Pentagon findings, while families mourn at a dedicated cemetery nearby.
