According to information provided by the media and sources from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a powerful munition destroyed the educational institution, which was in use at the time. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, the number of casualties among students ranges from 150 to 160 people. Tehran blames the armed forces of the United States and Israel for the attack on a civilian facility that occurred on February 28. The strike happened in the midst of the educational process, when many children were present at the school.
Against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities, the humanitarian situation in Iran is deteriorating. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Iranian Red Crescent report a severe shortage of medical supplies in hospitals in Tehran, Isfahan, and southern regions, which are overwhelmed with casualties. The activities of rescue services are hampered by almost complete internet shutdowns and disruptions in mobile communication, which hinder the coordination of emergency operations. Human rights organizations, including the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), have sharply condemned the strikes on civilian infrastructure, characterizing the attack on the school in Minab as a serious violation of international humanitarian law and the UN Charter. They called for the immediate establishment of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and for ensuring access for independent observers to the sites of destruction to verify casualty numbers.
The escalation of the conflict, including strikes on government facilities and nuclear installations, has caused a mass exodus of the population from major cities and paralysis of the transportation system. While Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu claim the "credibility" of information regarding the elimination of Supreme Leader Khamenei, the international community expresses concerns about a potential humanitarian catastrophe in the region. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the responsibility for the consequences of this crisis lies with the US and Israel, emphasizing that the attacks are occurring during active diplomatic negotiations in Geneva. The situation is exacerbated by the suspension of operations at major aviation hubs, including the airport in Dubai, and threats to block maritime routes in the Red Sea.
