Pourquoi c'est important
The strike occurred during the early stages of a US and Israeli bombing campaign in the region.
Iranian media have released previously unseen footage showing the immediate aftermath of a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab that killed at least 175 people, most of them children.
The Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran was hit on February 28, in the early days of the US and Israeli bombing campaign. The building was located near a naval base but separated from military facilities by a fence visible in satellite imagery.
A short, disturbing video shared by SNN TV on Sunday shows two frightened young girls in what appear to be dust-covered school uniforms. One girl has bloodstains on her face and headscarf. Several people are seen running toward a building engulfed in smoke.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied that American forces were responsible. However, multiple investigations by media outlets and analysts have concluded that the school was likely hit by a US-made missile, with evidence pointing to a Tomahawk strike.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in early March that the US would never deliberately target civilians and that the incident was under review.
Iran has described the strike as a war crime, while the UN called it “a grave assault on children, on education, and on the future of an entire community.”
