AI Summary

short article 1 min

A mass funeral was held in Iran for 165 schoolgirls and staff killed in a strike on a girls' school in Minab, southern Iran, on Saturday, March 3, 2026. Iran attributes the attack to a joint United States and Israeli operation, marking it as the deadliest incident in the ongoing US-Israeli campaign against Tehran. The Israeli military claims no knowledge of any US or Israeli attacks in the area. The attack has drawn international condemnation, including from UNESCO and Malala Yousafzai, as deliberately targeting civilian structures constitutes a war crime. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accuses the US and Israel of indiscriminately striking residential areas, including schools and hospitals.
