Deadly Attack on Iranian School Sparks International Outrage

Iran has condemned a deadly strike that hit an elementary school in the southern town of Minab, resulting in dozens of casualties. The attack was one of two that appear to have targeted schools during a series of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Saturday.

According to Iranian state media, the attack on the school in Minab left at least 32 people dead, most of them children. Graphic images and videos emerging from the scene show the devastation, with rescue workers combing through the rubble of the damaged building.

The strikes, which also hit a military site near the capital Tehran, have been met with widespread international condemnation. The United Nations has called for an immediate investigation into the civilian casualties, while European Union and Arab League officials have denounced the attacks as a violation of international law.

Iran's government has vowed to retaliate, accusing the U.S. and Israel of deliberately targeting civilians. The strikes come amid heightened tensions in the region following a series of attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities in recent months, which Tehran has blamed on Israel.

Analysts say the latest attacks reflect the growing risk of escalation, as the U.S. and its allies ramp up pressure on Iran over its nuclear program and support for militant groups in the region. The civilian casualties have sparked outrage and renewed calls for a diplomatic solution to de-escalate the tensions.
