US EditionWho bombed Iran’s Minab elementary school?
Amnesty International found that the US failed to take feasible precautions in a triple-tap strike killing around 175 people, mostly children, at a girls' school in southern Iran.
- On 28 February 2026, Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab was struck during morning air strikes, killing 168 people, Iranian authorities reported.
- Located beside an IRGC compound, the school had been separated by walls and gates since 2016 but was struck along with a dozen other structures in the adjacent IRGC compound.
- Forensic evidence indicates satellite footage, video analysis and recovered missile fragments show a US-manufactured Tomahawk cruise missile was likely used in a 'triple-tap' strike.
- The White House confirmed investigations are ongoing, and the US Department of Defense will release a report amid calls for accountability, Amnesty International said.
- Investigators should scrutinize how US military and intelligence processes, including AI, were used, with Amnesty added urging the restoration of internet access for the 92 million people in Iran.
