Iran will turn a bombed girls’ school into a museum commemorating nearly 200 victims, accusing the US of the deadly strike.
TEHRAN: Iran plans to convert a girls’ school bombed on the first day of the war into a museum commemorating the nearly 200 victims of the strike.
The Iranian government stated on Monday that the school is a living document of the Americans’ willingness to commit crimes and must be preserved in the historical memory of the Iranian people.
At least 168 pupils aged between 7 and 12 years old, 26 teachers and four parents were killed in the attack in the southern city of Minab on Feb 28.
Various media reports, including the New York Times and CNN citing confidential sources, have reported that preliminary investigation results indicate US responsibility for the attack.
The government did not initially provide further details about the museum plans, but confirmed the school will be rebuilt elsewhere in memory of the victims.
