Story summary

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a war across Iran, resulting in an attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, where more than 100 students were killed. The school has since been converted into a memorial for the children who died, featuring photographs of them before their deaths and black banners with their likenesses. Despite evidence suggesting that at least one US missile hit the school, the Trump administration has not taken responsibility for the strike or released the Pentagon's findings. This attack was one of the earliest moments of the war, and it has had a lasting impact on the community in Minab.
