Reuters Reports US May Have Struck Girls’ School in Iran, Killing 150 Students
Reuters reported on March 12 that the United States may have carried out a strike on a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, using outdated intelligence, resulting in the deaths of about 150 students.
The news agency, citing its sources, indicated that an internal investigation within the US military suggests American forces were likely responsible for the attack. The strike occurred on the first day of joint US and Israeli attacks on Iran, targeting several military and strategic sites across the country.
A video circulating online shows what experts believe to be a Tomahawk cruise missile striking the area. The attacks have escalated tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel.
The United States Department of Defense stated that investigations into the incident are ongoing and has not confirmed responsibility for the strike. The Pentagon emphasized that efforts continue to determine the circumstances and verify information surrounding the event.
Civilian casualties from the strike have drawn international concern, with humanitarian groups warning of severe consequences for civilians amid the expanding conflict.
