Video: Grieving mother recalls deadly attack on Minab school

A mother in the southern Iranian city of Minab has recounted the day two of her sons were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School, one of the deadliest single incidents of the war.

Visiting a cemetery where many of the victims are buried, she said there was “nothing in Minab worth attacking”, and added that “criminal America” had placed grief in their hearts.

The US strike killed 156 civilians, of which 120 were schoolchildren.
