An Israeli airstrike on a girls’ primary school in Minab, located in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, killed five students on Saturday morning, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA. The attack occurred as part of a broader wave of strikes launched by the United States and Israel across Iran, Al Jazeera reported.

The report stated that Tehran responded with counterattacks following the morning assaults. The incident marks a significant escalation in hostilities, with Iran targeting U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation. Regional reactions included condemnation from Saudi Arabia regarding attacks in Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, and Kuwait.

The situation underscores rising regional tensions and the potential for further military escalation between Iran, Israel, and the United States, though details of the ongoing operations remain limited.
