Claim 1: “Three months after a missile strike destroyed an elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab, killing over a hundred children”
CORROBORATED
The claim is confirmed by multiple independent sources. Wikipedia explicitly documents the '2026 Minab school attack' on February 28, 2026, stating the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School was destroyed by a missile strike. This is corroborated by France 24 and The Guardian, with The Guardian reporting a death toll of 165 people, supporting the 'over a hundred children' claim.
