Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media

The death toll from a missile strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran has risen to almost 150, according to Iranian state media.

Mizan news agency, the official news outlet of Iran’s judiciary, reported that the number killed in Saturday’s strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab in southern Iran had risen to 148 killed, with 95 others wounded. The news agency cited Ebrahim Taheri, a prosecutor in Minab.

The school, which was struck on Saturday morning, appears to be the worst mass casualty event of the US-Israeli-led bombing campaign on Iran so far.

Video and photographs from the aftermath of the strike, which have been verified as authentic and geolocated to the site, show hundreds of people gathered around the partially collapsed, smoking building, with rubble strewn across the street and men digging through it for victims. Screams can be heard in the background. In some of the images, schoolbags and textbooks are being pulled from the debris.

    Some videos show it appears to be a ballistic missle launch failure from a nearby launch site

    Same argument the Zionists were making about the hospital in Gaza… Recycling the same shit over and over again. It’s very easy to distinguish a mid-range air to land missile from a short-range land to land missile.
