Short answer
Iran’s regime claims that at least 80 children were killed in a strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab on February 28, 2026, blaming the United States or Israel and calling it a deliberate attack on civilians.
Open-source analysts geolocated the impact site to 27.109834, 57.084748, identifying it as part of the Sayyid al Shohada IRGC Navy barracks, not a standalone civilian school. Satellite imagery places the damaged structure inside an active military compound, adjacent to IRGC facilities.
There is no independent confirmation of the reported death toll, and no other schools or similar civilian buildings were reported hit that day, leaving the claim of a confirmed foreign strike on a purely civilian target unsupported by available evidence.
Long answer
Iran’s regime says that at least 80 children were killed in a strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab on February 28, 2026. Officials framed it as part of long-expected U.S. combat operations under President Trump. State media quickly blamed either the United States or Israel and described it as a deliberate attack on civilians.
However, open-source geolocation places the impact site at 27.109834, 57.084748 in Minab, identifying it as part of the Sayyid al Shohada barracks of the IRGC Navy’s Asef Brigade. Satellite imagery and OpenStreetMap data show the damaged building inside a military zone containing multiple IRGC facilities along Resalat Boulevard, not in a separate civilian neighborhood.
Iranian officials have issued conflicting statements, alternately blaming Israel and the United States. There is no independent confirmation of the reported death toll or the ages of the victims. What is verifiable is the location: the structure that was hit sits within an active IRGC military compound. Based on the available geospatial evidence, the claim that a purely civilian school in a separate neighborhood was deliberately targeted by foreign forces is not supported by the publicly verifiable data.
