the narration:
This used to be the site of the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab. As you can see, this entire area was previously a naval training base of the IRGC—the Seyyed al-Shohada base. From the time of the eight-year war until around 2009–2010, this area had a military function.
After 2009–2010, as Minab expanded and the city grew, a decision was made to completely relocate the base out of the city, to somewhere approximately 40 to 50 kilometers away. Initially, there were plans to sell the land. But later, the naval forces and some other institutions decided that, for the purpose of reducing deprivation, it would be better to dedicate the entire area to public services.
In 2013, Shajareh Tayyebeh School was built here—a two-story building with separate sections for girls and boys.
Now, let’s look over here. That is a pharmaceutical storage facility belonging to this clinic. This clinic is the Shahid Absalan Specialized Medical Center. About four or five months ago, Salami himself came and inaugurated it. It is a well-equipped clinic, with ultrasound, dentistry, radiology, and various medical services. That building there is also part of the clinic’s pharmaceutical storage.
Next to it, a football field has been built. That collapsed blue roof you see is the dormitory of this complex—its roof has been severely damaged. Those three sheds are a teachers’ cooperative store. Further down, there used to be a play hall; that blue roof belongs to that section. There is also a supermarket here.
What I want to emphasize is that this entire area we are standing in has been converted into public, non-military use. Behind you are organizational housing units—homes built around 30 to 40 years ago. And this is a new block currently under construction.
In other words, this former base has been divided into different sections, each assigned to a specific institution or function: one part was given to the Ministry of Education for the school, another to teachers’ services, another area turned into a cultural complex, here a clinic was built, here playgrounds and children’s play areas were created, and over there a grass field. Each part has been transformed into some form of urban public service.
You can also see the car wash, mechanic, and front-end repair shop I showed earlier. This barbed wire has been here for about 14–15 years. Moving forward, there is the clinic, and beyond that the cultural complex.
This is a cultural and educational complex. Shops, children’s play areas, and other facilities are all located within this zone.
And this is the Shahid Absalan Specialized Clinic I mentioned, inaugurated four or five months ago.
During the attack, there were two waves of bombardment: one at 11:18 a.m., and another around 2:30 p.m. In the first wave—at 11:18—it is said that between 9 and 11 missiles struck the entire neighborhood. The first missile hit the school.
As you can see, this is a two-story school. The upper floor was for girls, and the lower floor for boys. Their corridors, entrances, and exits were separate. This here is the girls’ schoolyard. A wall has been built in the middle of the compound, and on the other side is the boys’ schoolyard, with its entrance from a different direction.
This area had also been turned into a children’s space.
The first missile struck that point you now see as a crater. It came from above and hit right there. The children were frightened and moved forward. Then a second missile struck almost the same spot again. According to witnesses, the interval between the impacts was only about two, three, or five seconds.
Subsequent missiles hit the pharmaceutical storage facility. This is that same storage area we showed from above. These are not children’s belongings—these are the shelving units of the pharmacy. The smell of medicine is still clearly present.
Look at this glass. This used to be a children’s play hall—a large warehouse-like structure. This is the children’s playhouse or amusement space. You can see how heavily it has been destroyed. Likely two or three missiles struck this section.
Over there is the football field I showed earlier. From the top of that building, we were explaining the entire neighborhood.
This is the path to the school. And this is the car of one of the clinic employees—someone from the pharmacy staff who was killed in the attack.
Then another missile struck those three sheds that belonged to the teachers’ complex. Here is the shrine of the unknown martyrs. Those three sheds are the same store facilities we showed from above. These are the shop warehouses. This area seems to have been for sinks and washbasins—you can see many of them here.
All of this damage belongs to the first wave of the attack.
In the second wave, which occurred around 2:30 p.m., only the clinic was targeted. One missile hit the main clinic, one struck the cardiology unit, and another hit the staff dormitory. This is the staff dormitory.
Where is the pharmacy? Here—it is here. The missile struck the center of the pharmacy. This is the dental clinic; the missile hit exactly the middle of the dental clinic.
Look—this is the center of the medical facility, the main entrance. The missile impact was directly on the dental section. As we showed from above, the missile landed precisely in the middle of the dental clinic. Come, you can see the crater—this is the point of impact.
This is the cardiology clinic. And this is the children’s playground.
These fragments here are pieces of Tomahawk missiles collected from the impact sites. Several fragments have been placed here. On one of them, the name “Raytheon” is visible—a company that, even a simple search shows, is one of the largest military equipment manufacturers in the United States and one of the world’s leading producers of guided missiles.
All these sections I mentioned—the clinic, the school, the cultural complex, the residential housing, and others—are separated by walls. The school’s boundary wall is the most clearly defined. If you look at this wall, the one topped with barbed wire, on one side are the residential complexes and housing units, and on the other side part of the former base area. Walls have been built throughout, dividing the entire complex into separate sections and squares.
The whole area used to be a military base, which was later gradually divided and converted into public, educational, medical, cultural, and service-oriented uses.
In other words, even the school itself had been separated from what used to be an abandoned base—one that had later been divided and assigned different uses. The clinic had its own separate section. The cultural complex was separate. The car wash had actually been handed over to the private sector. The playground also had its own distinct area.
What I mean is that this was not a unified, active military space. It had been fragmented, divided by walls, and each section had its own independent function.
Most importantly, the school was located at the edge of the compound, and its separation was very clear, orderly, and easily identifiable. Because the upper floor was for girls, the bodies of the girls were found first, and then those of the boys.
In total, 156 people were killed at this site. Of these, 120 were students: 47 girls and 73 boys. Twenty-six were teachers and school staff, nine were family members, and one was a driver. One additional person, as I mentioned earlier, was killed outside the school, in the area of the clinic and the pharmaceutical storage.
