A US strike in Iran has killed over 100 children, with the Pentagon yet to release findings of an investigation into the bombing. The strike, which occurred on February 28, targeted a primary school in the city of Minab, located in southeastern Iran.
Investigation and Response
The Trump administration has not directly accepted blame for the strike, and President Donald Trump has stated that he had not read the Pentagon’s report and saw no evidence that the US was responsible. Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment.
The Associated Press has reconstructed the story of the attack using open-source information, video footage, human rights reports, and interviews with researchers and civilians. The reconstruction reveals that the school was located within a walled compound that also housed a Revolutionary Guard base, and that many of the children killed were from families closely tied to the Guard.
The strike has been widely condemned, with many calling for accountability and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. The incident has also raised concerns about the use of military force and the protection of civilians in conflict zones.
