The ministry officials reported that the strikes targeted 600 educational institutions across Iran. They provided specific casualty figures and highlighted the scale of the destruction to schools and other facilities.

Among the incidents cited was an attack on a girls' school in the Minab region, which officials described as particularly brutal and resulted in the deaths of more than 170 female students. The ministry emphasized the impact on education and civilian lives in the affected areas.

The reports detailed a total of at least 250 fatalities among teachers and students, with an additional 184 injured. No further breakdowns of casualties between teachers and students were provided in the statements.

Reliability assessment

Single source (RTA citing Al Jazeera) provides direct, on-record attribution to named entity (Iran's Ministry of Education officials) with concrete, checkable details: specific casualty figures, 600 institutions targeted, location (Minab region), and incident (girls' school attack). 'Officials said X' is reliably attributable.

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. RTA: "savage attack" (حمله‌ای وحشیانه) – emotionally loaded adjective implying brutality; "Israeli regime" (رژیم اسراییل) – derogatory term framing Israel as illegitimate.
