Iran school bombing: Will the truth come out? | The Global Story

Описание: On February 28th, in the opening hours of the first day of the US-Israel war against Iran, an attack on a school in the southern city of Minab killed 156 people, including 120 children.

To date, it is the deadliest single incident for civilians during the Iran war.

Experts say the school was hit by a precision guided Tomahawk missile - a weapon that neither Israel nor Iran are known to possess.

Yet five months on, the US government has not formally accepted responsibility.

The Global Story's Asma Khalid speaks to the BBC’s senior international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, who recently returned from Iran where she visited Minab and met with survivors of the strike and the families of those who were killed.

She also speaks to the BBC’s State Department correspondent, Tom Bateman, about his attempts to get answers from US officials.
