165 Children Killed in Israeli-US Strike on Iranian School
(MENAFN) Recovery efforts at a primary school devastated by a joint Israeli-US strike in Minab city have ended, Iranian officials confirmed Monday, placing the final death toll at 165 children.
Minab Governor Mohammad Rademahr, in remarks broadcast by Iranian state media, said emergency responders, paramilitary volunteers, and local residents worked collectively to clear the ruins of Shajareh Tayabeh School — a process that stretched beyond 24 hours before all bodies were recovered.
The school was hit Saturday morning as Washington and Tel Aviv launched coordinated, large-scale bombing campaigns across several Iranian provinces. Classes were in session when the strike reduced the building to rubble.
Rademahr confirmed that all 165 recovered victims were students. He labeled the assault a "malicious act" by Israel and the US, arguing it exposed "a historical pattern of child-killing by the Zionist (Israeli) regime."
He further condemned what he called a "cowardly act" in Minab, asserting it proved Israel would not halt what he characterized as their "targeting of children."
Beyond the fatalities, 96 additional individuals — the majority of them students — sustained injuries. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi each issued separate condemnations of the strike.
Rademahr announced that funeral processions for the killed students would take place Tuesday.
Saturday's broader US-Israeli offensive also claimed the lives of several senior Iranian figures, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran responded with waves of drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, US military assets, and multiple Gulf states.
Iranian officials have since rejected renewed diplomatic overtures, rebuffing a proposal by Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, who had publicly called for fresh negotiations via social media. The assault occurred amid fragile, Oman-mediated indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
