Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency has reported that at least 40 people were killed after an Israeli strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab in the southern Hormozgan province.

This is a developing story. I’ve provided some micro-updates in the comments, focusing on the verification of the story.

I recommend this Middle East Eye, and this Guardian article for more on this story.

    I do not doubt anything about this attack taking place nor these details about it. It is a horrible attack. Do you have any evidence linking it to Israel, that is not just “Israel is attacking Iran today so this must be the work of Israel too”?

      I apologize, and thank you for your patience. I didn’t quite get your point about origin of strike.

      It sounds pretty damn dodgy to me. But, yes, there is no verification of the strike’s origins to my knowledge.

      Actually there is at least some verifying material:

      A map of the “Asef Guards Barracks” area shows that the Shajareh Tayyebeh IRGC Navy Girls’ School is located within the compound.
