Iran held a mass funeral this Tuesday for at least 165 schoolgirls killed Saturday in a strike on Minab. But online, some users claim the tragedy was staged by Iranian authorities. In this edition of Truth or Fake, we confirm the strike hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school, a building separated from nearby IRGC military barracks for nearly a decade. We also examine claims blaming U.S.-Israeli strikes for the attack, as well as allegations of a failed Iranian rocket launch.
