Tehran/International Desk: March 24, 2026
Amidst the ongoing brutal conflict in the Middle East, Iran has sparked a global outcry by releasing deeply distressing CCTV footage. The video, broadcast by Iran’s state channel IRIB (International Ribbon Institute), allegedly depicts a missile strike on the ‘Shajre Tayyibe’ girls’ school in the city of Minab. Iranian authorities claim that this attack, which reportedly took place on February 28, resulted in the deaths of over 180 innocent children. Iran has directly accused the United States (USA) of being responsible for this massacre.

The released video shows massive, simultaneous explosions in four different sections of the school building, after which the entire structure is reduced to rubble. The intensity of the blasts caused the roofs and walls to collapse completely, leaving behind thick black smoke and raging flames. Iranian media is presenting this incident to the international community as “irrefutable evidence” that civilian targets are being intentionally sought out.
While the claims are grave, there are critical factors to consider regarding the authenticity of the report:
No Independent Verification: As of now, no independent international agency has confirmed the claims or the authenticity of the video footage.
Silence from Washington: There has been no official response or statement from the United States regarding these specific allegations.
War Crime Implications: Experts suggest that if these claims are proven true, the incident would be classified as a major War Crime, likely escalating regional tensions to a point of no return.
The footage has ignited a massive debate across social media and global platforms, further intensifying the information war accompanying the physical conflict.
