Massacre at 'Good Tree' School in Iran: 57 Female Students Killed in Joint Raids

Official sources in Iran announced a tragic increase in the number of victims of the attack that targeted the 'Good Tree' primary school for girls in the southern province of Hormozgan. Field reports confirmed that the number of female students killed reached 57, while about 60 others sustained injuries of varying severity, causing a state of shock in local and international circles.

Sources from the Iranian Ministry of Education reported that the airstrike targeting the Minab area not only resulted in the death of female students but also injured several teachers who were present inside the educational institution. This new toll updates previous data provided by Minab's governor, Mohammad Radmehr, which indicated the killing of 51 students before the numbers were updated.

These bloody field developments come in the context of a joint military operation launched by Israel and the United States early Saturday under the name 'Lion's Roar'. US President Donald Trump officially announced the start of widespread combat operations targeting Iranian territory, representing an unprecedented escalation in the region.

The past hours witnessed a series of violent explosions that rocked several Iranian cities, with social media platforms circulating images showing a massive explosion in Tabriz. The capital Tehran and other provinces are subjected to continuous raids, amid a partial blackout on the nature of the targets hit by the intense aerial bombardment since the early morning hours.

Media sources from Tehran indicated that the issue of targeting the girls' school topped the priorities of Iranian diplomatic action, as Tehran seeks to document what it described as aggression against civilian facilities. These attacks caused a state of panic and terror among the local population, especially with the rapidly and unexpectedly increasing number of civilian casualties.

Despite the intensity of the raids, no official statement has yet been issued clarifying the nature of all buildings targeted in Tehran and other provinces. Questions arise as to whether these sites include security or military installations, or if they are related to the Iranian nuclear program, especially since the bombing affected populated residential areas.

The field situation in Iran remains prone to further escalation, with ongoing air operations targeting infrastructure and civilian areas. Rescue teams face significant difficulties in dealing with the extent of the destruction resulting from the raids, at a time when hospitals continue to receive dozens of injured victims from the targeting of the 'Good Tree' school.

The United States launched widespread combat operations in Iran.
