US Bombs School, Homes in Khomeyn
Key Takeaways
- The US-Israel-Iran war entered its 11th day on March 10.
- Donald Trump pledged to hit Iran 'twenty times harder' if it disrupts Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran reported its heaviest air raids since February 28, with dozens of explosions in Tehran.
Khomeyn school strike
A US missile struck a school in the central Iranian city of Khomeyn and damaged nearby residences, with Iran’s Mehr news agency reporting there were no immediate casualty reports.
“As the US-Israel-Iran war entered its 11th day on Tuesday, March 10, United States President Donald Trump said that the war would not last very long while also pledging to hit Iran “twenty times harder” if it disrupts oil trade in the Strait of Hormuz”
The report was published amid broader reporting on strikes, and official Iranian state media did not immediately detail damage or casualties connected to the incident.

Local reporting emphasised the lack of confirmed deaths while noting structural damage to civilian buildings.
Strikes on Iranian infrastructure
The incident in Khomeyn occurred against the backdrop of what Israel described as a “wide-scale wave of strikes” on multiple Iranian cities and infrastructure.
The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of infrastructure sites, including what it called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ drone headquarters.

It described the operations as targeted strikes on military-related facilities, even as Iranian reporting focused on damage to civilian structures like schools and homes.
Iran's retaliatory posture and diplomacy
Iran signalled an intensified retaliatory posture after the strikes.
“As the US-Israel-Iran war entered its 11th day on Tuesday, March 10, United States President Donald Trump said that the war would not last very long while also pledging to hit Iran “twenty times harder” if it disrupts oil trade in the Strait of Hormuz”
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the 33rd wave of 'Operation Promise 4'.
It warned it might employ its heaviest missiles, described as one-ton-plus, against Israeli and US targets.
Tehran’s foreign ministry said it would not resume ceasefire negotiations unless given guarantees that aggressions would stop.
Diplomatic outreach reportedly came from China, France and Russia.
Regional escalation of attacks
The strikes and Iranian responses coincided with wider escalation across the region.
Hezbollah reported multiple attacks on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, claiming ambushes near Khiam, hits on three Merkava tanks, and rocket and artillery fire on border areas.

In Iraq, a pro-Iran Popular Mobilisation Forces base in Kirkuk was struck, with reports that five were killed and 18 wounded.
The attacker’s identity remained unclear in the reporting.
