According to Iranian sources, at least 108 people, many of whom were girls, died in an explosion at a school in Minab, Hormozgan province, in southern Iran. The incident occurred during reported air strikes by the US and Israel against targets in Iran, including a nearby base of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Iranian Red Crescent reports over 200 deaths and hundreds injured nationwide from the strikes. While the US and Israel have not confirmed involvement in the school attack, the incident has sparked anger and accusations within Iran, with some blaming the government for failing to protect civilians. International news organizations face restrictions in independently verifying information due to limited access to Iran.
