Minab

Minab is a location in southern Iran that has become a focal point of international attention following a devastating US missile strike on a school on February 28, 2026, the first day of a war initiated by US and Israeli attacks. Investigations and reports indicate that the strike resulted in the deaths of at least 155 civilians, including over 120 school children, predominantly girls. Despite ongoing probes, US military commanders have avoided taking direct responsibility, citing the school's alleged location on an active IRGC missile base as a complicating factor. The tragedy has sparked widespread grief and calls for justice within Iran, with victims being honored at public events and exhibitions, such as the 'Eyes of Minab' display in Tehran. Iranian officials are demanding compensation for war damages, including those from the Minab attack, which they view as part of a broader effort by the US and Israel to target Iranian culture and education. The incident has been highlighted by human rights organizations as an example of disregard for civilian life in modern warfare.
