Missiles fired by the United States and Israel hit two schools near Tehran: Iranian media | Conflict news

DEVELOPING HISTORYHISTORY IN DEVELOPMENT,

The latest attack comes six days after the deadliest during the war with Iran, which killed 165 schoolchildren and staff.

Missiles fired by the United States and Israel hit two schools in the city of Parand, southwest of Tehran, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The agency shared photos of damage and debris in what appeared to be a classroom and said several nearby residential units also sustained damage in Thursday’s attack.

The attack came just six days after what Iran described as an American-Israeli attack on a girls’ school in the southern city of Minab, where 165 students and staff were killed, the day the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran that has sparked exchanges of fire across the Middle East.

Iranian authorities put the final death toll from the Minab attack at 165 people, most of them girls between the ages of seven and 12. At least 95 other people were injured in the attack.

As images of the massacre spread on social media platforms, Israeli and American authorities attempted to distance themselves from the attack; The United States claimed it was unaware that a school had been attacked and some Israeli sources claimed the site was “part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base.”

However, an analysis by Al Jazeera’s digital investigations unit found that the school had been clearly separated from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years. The investigation also showed that the attack pattern raises fundamental questions about the accuracy of the intelligence on which the bombing was based.

“This is what Mr. Trump’s promised ‘rescue’ actually looks like. From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said after Monday’s attack.
