Minab school bombing: how the worst mass casualty event of the Iran war unfolded - a visual guide

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/mar/03/minab-school-bombing-how-the-worst-mass-casualty-event-of-the-iran-war-unfolded-a-visual-guide

Above the pastel murals of trees, paintbrushes, crayons and microscopes, black smoke rises. The glass windows of the school have been blown out by the force of the blast, and its curtains hang shredded from the frames.

Against one burned-out wall, the remains of a playground lie scattered: a red plastic slide, a jumble of child-sized chairs. On an overturned bookshelf a pair of pink plastic sandals have been neatly placed, now covered in dust from the blast.

The missile hit during the school’s morning session. In Iran, the school week runs from Saturday to Thursday, so when US and Israeli bombs began falling at around 10am on Saturday, classes were under way. At a point between 10am and 10.45am, a missile directly hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school, in Minab, southern Iran, demolishing its concrete building and killing dozens of seven to 12-year-old girls.

According to Iranian state media, up to 168 people were killed by the strike and 95 injured –

The US-led war on Iran has already caused a high civilian toll. The Iranian Red Crescent Society said on Monday that at least 555 people had been killed across the country. The US-based Human Rights Activist news agency says at least 742 civilians have been reported killed, of whom 85 had been confirmed and verified. The number reported killed included 176 children.

I just finished reading that article and was about to post a link, and see that Malaise beat me to it.

The Guardian compared surrounding buildings, landscape, etc. to verify that images of the destroyed school were what they claimed to be. So yes, one of the very first acts in a war that tRump claims is to help the Iranian people was to kill Iranian school children and teachers (their school week runs from Saturday through Thursday).

I'm absolutely sickened by this.
