Hormozgan province

Hormozgan province, located in southern Iran, is currently newsworthy due to being the site of devastating attacks during the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran. Recent reports indicate that schools within the province have been targeted, resulting in significant civilian casualties. Specifically, an Israeli strike hit an elementary girls' school in Minab, a city within Hormozgan, reportedly killing at least 53 people. Another attack in the province resulted in a total of 165 deaths, including girls and staff. These events contribute to a rising civilian death toll across Iran, with rights groups estimating over 200 deaths since the start of the conflict. The attacks in Hormozgan highlight the vulnerability of civilian populations and the escalating humanitarian crisis within Iran as a result of the war.
