🚨 A devastating Israeli airstrike destroyed a primary girls' school in Minab, southern Iran, today – killing at least 50 people and injuring dozens more, according to Iranian state media. The attack marks one of the deadliest incidents in recent Iran-Israel tensions.
Local officials described scenes of chaos as first responders rushed to Hormozgan province's rubble-strewn schoolyard. "These were children learning math," said regional governor Ahmed Karimi in a televised statement. "This violence must stop."
While Israel hasn't officially claimed responsibility, the strike comes amid heightened Middle East conflicts this year. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for "immediate de-escalation" during an emergency Security Council session this afternoon.
🌍 Global social media trends show #ProtectMiddleEastChildren gaining momentum, with users sharing photos of school backpacks recovered from the site. Meanwhile, Tehran announced plans to convene an emergency meeting of Islamic Cooperation Organization members tomorrow.
