A devastating missile strike destroyed the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, on February 28, 2026, killing more than 160 people, most of them schoolchildren. The attack occurred during the first day of the Iran war as students were attending classes. The explosion collapsed large sections of the building and trapped many children under the rubble. Iranian authorities blamed U.S. and Israeli strikes conducted near a nearby Revolutionary Guard naval base, while U.S. officials said the incident is under investigation. The tragedy triggered international outrage, with the United Nations and global organisations calling for an independent investigation into possible violations of humanitarian law.
