Key Details of the Incident

• Location and Date: The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, was struck on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
• Casualties: Iranian state media and officials reported that the death toll from the strike rose to at least 165, with many others injured, calling it a devastating blow to the local community.
• Targeting: Reports suggest the strike occurred during a coordinated U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. Some evidence suggests the school was hit during an attack targeting a nearby Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base.
• Weaponry/Nature of Attack: Initial investigations by the Middle East Eye suggested the attack may have been a "double tap" strike, where a second strike hit the location as rescuers arrived. 

U.S. Response and Investigation

• Investigation: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the military is investigating the incident.
• Accountability: While not reaching a final conclusion, anonymous U.S. officials told Reuters that it is likely U.S. forces were responsible.
• Official Stance: White House and U.S. officials have not ruled out that U.S. personnel carried out the strike but have stated they do not deliberately target civilians, with some officials accusing Iranian state media of spreading propaganda regarding the incident. 

The incident has drawn international attention and condemnation, with UNESCO and other humanitarian groups raising concerns about the protection of schools in conflict zones.

.......'devastating blow to the local community'????

Gotta wonder how much more devastating to the local community it was to have 30k protestors shot down in the streets? 

Think of it - 30K???? Any regime capable of that is definitely capable of orchestrating a red-herring in pursuit of grooming  damaging propaganda.
