"Heavy machinery could be seen clearing rubble following a reported attack on a school in Hormozgan on Saturday. Earlier on the same day, the IRNA news agency claimed 'at least 40' had been killed, while reports later upgraded to over 50. This could not be independently verified. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated: "The destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils. Dozens of innocent children have been murdered at this site alone. These crimes against the Iranian People will not go unanswered." Donald Trump confirmed 'major combat operations' in Iran in a video posted on his Truth Social: "To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity - or in the alternative, face certain death." Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a joint operation to "remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran". He later called on the Iranian people to 'take their fate into their own hands'. The Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps then reported the 'first wave' of 'widespread missile and drone and attacks' against Israel was underway. Iran's Foreign Ministry stated: "History bears witness that Iranians have never bowed their heads in submission to foreign aggression". It comes following three rounds of talks between the Iranian and American sides, one in Muscat and two in Geneva in recent weeks."
