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.

    We have the same evidence, I can’t really add anything concrete to it.

    What’s your point? That it’s more likely this was a self-sabotage? Or that it’s still a possibility? Without concrete evidence, I don’t know. And I don’t really wanna theorize, but having focused on this story, I care about the girls and the people at the school and their relatives. They are not just numbers. So I’ve thought about this a bit as well.

    If they [the aggressors] missed that there is a fucking school with very young school girls as part of the compound, then it’s an intelligence failure and still the aggressor’s responsibility to have caused this tragedy through their shit senseless offensive. And if they did know, they failed a moral test by attack anyway.

    I don’t accept that they needed to kill them as part of war strategies. Expect some damn accountability. That includes if Iran self-struck, but even that, as you claim being a rumoured strategy, is also something the aggressors should’ve known about.
