Bombed Iranian girls school had vivid website and yearslong online presence

(https://www.reuters.com/investigations/bombed-iranian-girls-school-had-vivid-website-yearslong-online-presence-2026-03-12/)

The Shajareh Tayyebeh School was adjacent to an Iranian military compound and was among at least seven buildings struck February 28. Its online presence included a local business listing and a website that showed girls at work and play. Iranian officials have said students made up most of the 175 people killed that day in Minab.

March 12, 2026

LONDON – An Iranian girls school that took a direct hit on the first day of the war had a yearslong online presence, including dozens of photos of the children and their activities, before it was bombed along with at least six other buildings in an adjacent military compound, a Reuters investigation found.

The school’s online activity calls into question how the American military vets and reviews strike locations. Reuters first reported investigators at the Defense Department believe U.S. forces were likely responsible for the bombing, and new indications emerged that the U.S. may have relied upon outdated targeting data.

Separated from the base by a wall painted with bright murals, the Shajareh Tayyebeh School was the northernmost building hit on February 28. The building was destroyed during the barrage, and 150 students were killed, according to Iran’s ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, Ali Bahreini. Reuters has not independently confirmed the death toll, which the Iranian Red Crescent said reached 175.

The colored walls visible from satellite imagery as early as 2018 can be seen in a version of the school’s website archived in 2025, whose photos showed girls dressed in identical pink and white in class and at play. The school was also tagged in a local business listing, Reuters found. And multiple satellite images from the months leading up to the strike provide other indications it was a school, including playground markings.

The cluster of buildings appeared to have been struck by a series of munitions, including at least one American Tomahawk cruise missile, according to an analysis of satellite imagery data, photos and video of the strikes and their aftermath.

Video of the moment of impact by the Tomahawk on the buildings nearby showed a plume of smoke rising in the background. Satellite images from after the attack showed signs of at least seven distinct explosions along a roughly 325-meter axis, including the destroyed school, a rooftop punctured by a gaping hole, and a flattened building.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran might have Tomahawks, although he did not explain how, and no U.S. officials have offered evidence of that claim.

The Pentagon said the strike is under investigation but declined to comment on the school’s online presence, the satellite imagery or on the decision to target the Minab compound.

Two sources, both speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters outdated targeting data may have been to blame, which was first reported by the New York Times.

Mark Cancian, a retired U.S. Marine officer and defense expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, said the U.S. Central Command would have had a longstanding list of potential targets in case of conflict with Iran. “The lesson learned here would be to review the target lists periodically and more closely,” he said.

The school and at least six buildings in the adjacent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps compound were the only places struck within 5 kilometers between February 28 and March 2, Reuters found. This suggests they were specifically targeted, rather than struck as part of a broad bombing campaign on the southern city.

Located near the Strait of Hormuz and surrounded by farm fields, Minab is home to one of the IRGC’s largest missile bases, according to state media.

The Reuters analysis included changes detected between those dates by satellites, which even over a large area can measure shifts from upheavals such as destroyed buildings, fire, flooding or landslides.

In the days after the strike, another place in Minab showed major disturbance in the analysis: the town cemetery. There, on March 2, the dead children were buried, creating row after row of 20 tidy rectangular holes in the earth.

THE SCHOOL

The Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab was one of 59 schools within the Persian Gulf Martyrs’ Cultural Educational Institute, a network affiliated with the IRGC, the military force that reports to Iran’s supreme leader, according to archived copies of the network’s website. The school’s website includes photos of students gathered in the yard, which matched verified videos outside the building after the strike.

Some of the schools in that network, including the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls school and its equivalent boys school in Minab, listed their addresses as being in or adjacent to IRGC-controlled locations, according to the archived website.

The address for the Minab girls school is specifically listed as “Resalat Blvd, Alley No. 9, behind Asef Brigade.” The girls school is also included in a local business listing website that shows a photo of the alley with a sign clearly marked “Girls School.”

The boys school seems to share the address and be located on the side of the building that did not collapse. A comparison of post-strike images with archived photos of boys studying appears to show debris scattered on desks where students had once studied.

According to the London-based news website IranWire, the Asef Brigade is a missile unit based in Minab, under the command of the IRGC navy.

Satellite imagery from mid-2015 shows the building was walled off from the rest of the base and appears to have operated as a school since at least 2018, when the painted murals are first visible on its outer walls.

THE STRIKE

In the early days of the war, the United States released photos and videos showcasing its use of Tomahawks in Iran, including on the war’s first day, February 28, when the school was struck. In three photos and a video from that day that were taken by the U.S. Navy, a Tomahawk missile launches from the deck of the USS Spruance, a guided-missile destroyer. The missiles are U.S.-made and can be launched from surface ships or submarines.

On Sunday, the semi-official Mehr news agency published a video showing the moment one of the buildings within the IRGC compound was hit. According to local media, the attack happened around 10:45 a.m. local time.

Before impact, smoke from what appears to be a previous attack on the compound is already visible in the video. Reuters verified the visual as taken on February 28 from videos of the aftermath and satellite imagery of intact buildings taken on the morning of the strike.

Reuters shared the video of the attack with five munitions experts. Four of the experts said the missile was likely a Tomahawk; one thought it was a glide bomb.

Joost Oliemans, a Netherlands-based conflict analyst who specializes in military equipment, concluded the compound was hit by a U.S. Tomahawk, saying that while a few countries had similar missiles, neither Israel nor Iran were among them. Joseph Dempsey, a military analyst with London’s International Institute for Strategic Studies, also identified it as a type of Tomahawk, although he did not rule out the possibility of a previously unknown missile.

In a March 4 press conference at the Pentagon, the U.S. military shared a map of locations it had struck in Iran. The map did not list Minab by name, but one of the strikes was marked with a red diamond where the city is located.

On Monday, the state-controlled Tehran Times newspaper published photos of what it said were the “remnants of an American missile that struck an elementary school in Minab.” At the request of Reuters, Hany Farid, a digital forensics and computer science professor for the University of California at Berkeley, analyzed the images and found no evidence of manipulation or AI generation.

Two of those missile parts, laid out on a desk and photographed in front of the remains of the school, match recovered parts of other Tomahawk missiles shared by Houthi militants in 2025 and documented by the Open Source Munitions Portal NGO.

Reuters was unable to independently confirm if the missile fragments were found at the site of the school strike or whether the base connected to the school was still being used by the IRGC when the compound came under repeated strikes on February 28. But at the school there was activity as recently as December 2025. Satellite imagery showed what appeared to be people gathered in the schoolyard on a cloudless day.

The school motto, as posted on its website: “Today I learn; tomorrow we build.”

Iceland and Netherlands intervene in ICJ South Africa v. Israel genocide case

(https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/iceland-and-netherlands-intervene-icj-south-africa-v-israel-genocide-case)

The move adds to an expanding list of governments weighing in on the high-profile Gaza case before the UN’s highest court

By Sondos Asem

Published date: 12 March 2026

Iceland and the Netherlands filed declarations to intervene in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Thursday, bringing the number of countries seeking to participate in the proceedings to 18.

Both states filed declarations under Article 63 of the court’s statute, which allows countries that are parties to a treaty at issue in a case to intervene in order to present their interpretation of that treaty.

The case, brought by South Africa in December 2023, accuses Israel of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention through its military campaign in Gaza since October 2023.

During its devastating onslaught, Israel has so far killed over 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children. It has also destroyed most of the enclave’s homes, hospitals, schools and infrastructure, rendering it largely uninhabitable for its 2.3 million civilians.  

South Africa argues that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide, including through killing Palestinians, causing serious bodily or mental harm and imposing conditions of life calculated to bring about the group’s destruction. Israel denies committing genocide.

But a UN commission of inquiry concluded last September that Israel has committed genocide (the gravest crime under international law) in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

The UN report’s authors, including legal experts Navi Pillay and Chris Sidoti, told Middle East Eye that the report used evidence and a similar methodology in its analysis to that which will be used by the ICJ.

On Thursday, Israel was scheduled to submit its counter-memorial, or arguments in response to South Africa’s accusations, after several deadline extensions by the court. The court has yet to announce that Israel has filed its evidence, however.

Mass interventions 

The new interventions by Iceland and the Netherlands come as a growing number of states seek to weigh in on the interpretation of the Genocide Convention in the case.

Under Article 63, interventions have already been filed by Colombia, Libya, Mexico, Palestine, Spain, Turkey, Chile, the Maldives, Bolivia, Ireland, Cuba, Belize, Brazil, the Comoros, Belgium and Paraguay.

Palestine and Belize have also sought to intervene under Article 62 of the ICJ statute, which allows states to apply to join proceedings if they believe they have a legal interest that could be affected by the court’s decision.

Article 63 interventions do not make intervening states parties to the dispute. Instead, they allow them to submit observations on how the relevant treaty – in this case the Genocide Convention – should be interpreted.

In its declaration, Iceland said the Convention must be interpreted in a way that supports its fundamental aim of preventing and punishing genocide. It argued that genocidal intent can often be inferred from patterns of conduct rather than direct evidence.

Iceland also said the court should consider whether actions such as deprivation of food, shelter or medical care could constitute conditions of life intended to destroy a protected group, and emphasised the particular vulnerability of children in assessing serious bodily or mental harm.

The Netherlands, in its filing, said the court should take into account patterns of conduct and circumstantial evidence when determining genocidal intent. It also argued that forced displacement and the withholding of humanitarian aid could, depending on the circumstances, contribute to acts prohibited under the Convention.

Both countries stressed that their interventions were limited to questions of treaty interpretation and did not address the factual allegations in the case.

The proceedings are one of the most closely watched disputes ever heard by the ICJ and have drawn an unusually large number of third-state interventions.

The court has already ordered Israel in binding provisional measures to take steps to prevent acts that breach the Convention and to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, while stopping short of ordering a ceasefire. Israel has been accused of repeatedly violating the court’s orders. 

A final ruling on whether Israel has breached the Genocide Convention could take until 2028, experts have previously told Middle East Eye.
