Mourners dig graves for those killed in a primary school bombing, Hormozgan province, Minab, Iran. Last Saturday’s strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh girls’ primary school in the southern town of Minab killed 168 and injured 95, the majority of whom were 12-year-old pupils. Three bombs were dropped on the school during an attack on a nearby Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base. US-Israeli strikes have targeted IRGC sites as well as civilian residential areas, car parks, petrol stations and buildings near Tehran University. Air strikes targeted the Shia holy city of Qom as well as Shiraz, Isfahan and Kermanshah, where multiple missile bases are located.
