Images Suggest US Bombed Minab Girls' School, Killing More Than 150, Experts Say

Franceinfo reports that the investigation into the deadly strike on the Minab girls’ school is advancing and that newly circulated videos have strengthened the hypothesis that an American strike caused the destruction.

The outlet says this development "is putting the U.S. administration under pressure" and frames the event as a contested, high-stakes investigation.

Franceinfo also notes the public dispute over responsibility, reporting that "In my opinion, from what I've seen, it was Iran that did this," the President of the United States said on March 7, and that Trump made the accusation "without providing evidence."

Satellite imagery and geolocation analysis published in the Franceinfo report place the bombed school, named Shajare Tayyebeh, immediately adjacent to a Revolutionary Guards base.

The piece emphasizes that both the school and neighboring military buildings appear to have been struck with precision at the center of their structures.

Franceinfo frames that spatial pattern as central to the debate over who carried out the strike.

Franceinfo reports that Iran released photos of missile debris it says bear components of American manufacture, while also noting that those images do not prove the debris came from the Minab school.

The outlet cites an amateur video that was "authenticated by several experts and international media" and that appears to show a missile crashing into a military building near the school.

Franceinfo quotes Étienne Marcuz saying the footage shows a cruise missile with visible fins and that "just this video tends to favor the hypothesis of a Tomahawk."

Franceinfo connects the on-the-ground indicators to reported U.S. operations on the same day, saying American ships fired many Tomahawks at Iran.

The outlet notes that the U.S. Secretary of Defense disclosed a map of targeted sites and that the Minab school "lies right at the center of a firing zone."

Franceinfo reports that, despite these elements, "Confronted with these elements on March 9, Donald Trump still denies U.S." involvement.

The Franceinfo piece repeatedly frames responsibility as contested and presents imagery and claims without a definitive attribution.

The excerpt provided does not include a casualty figure and therefore does not substantiate the specific claim that "more than 150" people were killed.

Franceinfo emphasizes imagery, debris evidence, expert analysis, and the resulting political pressure rather than publishing a confirmed death toll in the quoted material.
