Missile selects classroom as target in precision strike operation

US Missile Strike on Iranian School Kills 170 People

A US Tomahawk cruise missile was launched from a naval vessel on February 28, striking a girls’ elementary school in the city of Minab, Iran. The attack occurred at approximately 10:45 in the morning, when classrooms were filled with children aged seven to 12.

Eyewitnesses describe the scene as chaotic, with debris scattered across the ground and survivors struggling to breathe beneath clouds of dust. Satellite imagery and video recordings have confirmed that the missile struck a specific structure within the school, causing widespread destruction.

The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 170 people, mostly schoolgirls, and injured over 100 others. The incident has been widely condemned as a war crime, with many calling for those responsible to be held accountable.

Iranian authorities have confirmed that the strike was not an accident, but rather a deliberate act of violence. Remnants of US munitions and satellite imagery taken before and after the strike support this conclusion.

The attack on the school has been part of a larger pattern of violence in Iran, with civilians being killed and communities affected across the country. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of civilians and the use of precision-guided munitions in conflict zones.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but the facts of the case are clear: a US missile strike on an Iranian school resulted in significant loss of life and destruction.
