Six months on, grief still raw for Iran school parents

Six months after the tragic strike on a school in Minab, Iran, the grief for the victims remains raw. Masoumeh Zakeri's nine-year-old daughter Motahreh was among 155 people killed, most of them children. Motahrei was identified by her earrings and bracelet. Iran claims responsibility for the attack, which involved two separate US Tomahawk missiles, although neither the US nor Israel has officially acknowledged involvement.
Rights groups, including Amnesty International and The New York Times, point to the US. The school remains largely in ruins, surrounded by portraits of the children killed and Iranian flags. Six months later, Zakeri and other grieving parents find it difficult to envision a future. They visit the cemetery where the children are buried instead of returning to the school.
The strike, which occurred during the US-Israel war, has halted intense bombardments, but diplomatic efforts to end the war have stalled.
