• Israeli airstrikes on schools in Iran have resulted in over 100 casualties.
• The strikes have heightened regional tensions amid retaliatory actions from Iran.
• Iranian officials describe the attacks as severe violations of international law.

Israeli airstrikes targeting schools in Iran resulted in at least 108 fatalities and hundreds of injuries. The most significant attack occurred at a girls' school in Minab, where Iranian state media initially reported 85 casualties, which later increased as more bodies were recovered from the wreckage, according to India Times and Al Jazeera.

Iran's foreign minister condemned the airstrikes, labeling them a "blatant crime," and called for international action from the United Nations Security Council. He asserted that the attacks on civilian targets reflect the aggression of both Israel and the United States, and that retaliation from Tehran is expected, as it has already conducted strikes against U.S. military positions throughout the region, as reported by BBC and India Times.

The strikes appear to be part of a broader campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, justified by Israel as "preventive." Nonetheless, the death toll of civilians, particularly children, has raised serious humanitarian concerns. An official from the Iranian Red Crescent stated that damage and casualties from the attacks have overwhelmed the emergency response teams deployed to the affected areas, emphasizing the chaotic aftermath, according to Al Jazeera and BBC.
