On February 28, 2026, a US Tomahawk missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran. At least 175 people died, including 120 children.
The intended target was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base nearby. The US military’s preliminary investigation attributed the error to outdated targeting data that misidentified the school.
Nearly four months later, no comprehensive final report has been released. There has been no public accountability. Families are still waiting for answers.
The broader US-Iran conflict has rattled global financial markets. Bitcoin plunged below $73,000 following strikes in late May, triggering nearly $1 billion in total liquidations across digital assets.
