"The Shajareh Tayyebeh school was adjacent to a cluster of buildings that form the local Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval barracks and support buildings. The Guardian cross-referenced verified videos from the site of the bombing with satellite imagery to confirm the location of the primary school. Historic satellite imagery shows that while the school's building was once part of the wider IRGC complex, it has been walled off from the barracks for at least nine years."
"For years, it has had clear visual indications that it is an educational facility, including colourful murals on the walls and small sports playing fields—both visible in some satellite imagery. There is no indication that the school was a military-use building at the time of the strike."
"The president presented no evidence for his claim. His assertion has not been repeated by spokespeople for the US military, who have said only that they are investigating the bombing. But a growing body of evidence indicates that the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school was carried out by the US."
A bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab on 28 February killed numerous seven- to twelve-year-old girls, marking the deadliest mass killing in the US-Israel conflict with Iran. UNESCO condemned it as a grave violation of international law. President Trump claimed Iran was responsible without presenting evidence, citing Iranian weapons inaccuracy. US military spokespeople stated only that they were investigating. Satellite imagery and verified videos reveal the school had been separated from adjacent IRGC naval barracks for at least nine years and displayed clear educational markers including colorful murals and sports fields. Evidence indicates the US likely conducted the strike.
