For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.
@RoKhanna@DropSiteNews Explain how it’s unjustified and against the UN charter that Iran is bombing American bases in response to the US bombing 10,000+ targets in their country?? It is literally the definition of self defense. Brutal man.
The fabulous @EarthWindFire make their mark on our #PlayAtHome series with this uplifting, groovy rendition of "Devotion" from their 1974 album "Open Our Eyes." #LSSC
