The girls' school in Minab, in southern Iran, was hit on Saturday during the first day of U.S. and Israeli attacks on the country. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged the U.S. military was investigating the incident. U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike, sources told news agency Reuters.

“The onus is on the forces that carried out the attack to investigate it,” says UN human rights office spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani.

Officials stress US military investigators haven't yet reached final conclusion or completed investigation, which Hegseth confirms: 'We, of course, never target civilian targets'

When I heard the terrible news that the Americans and Israelis had killed over 150 children this week in an elementary school in Minab in Southern Iran it took me back to a wonderful day I spent in Isfahan in 2018. I met lots of Iranian school children and their teachers that day. They were keen to practise their English and ask lots of questions. I want to share that day with you because it was filled with hope, with promise for a better world.
