Drop Site News released a major investigation this week into the U.S. bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh children's school in the Iranian city of Minab on February 28, the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Drop Site spoke to survivors, first responders, parents and witnesses in one of the most in-depth reports on the massacre to date. The bombing killed at least 156 people — 120 of the victims were children, 26 were teachers, and the rest were parents. "This was not a single bombing or collateral damage," says Drop Site's Jeremy Scahill, lead author of the investigation. "There were at least two direct hits on a school packed with children … and a couple of hours after those initial hits, as first responders came, as parents came, the U.S. launches more strikes."
