A school was bombed in Minab.

More than 150 children died.

That is not rumor — that is verified loss.

And when children die in their classrooms, the world does not need spin, or deflection, or leaders reaching for the nearest convenient enemy. The world needs truth. The world needs grief. The world needs accountability that does not wait for political permission.

A prophetic voice begins here:

No nation is righteous enough to excuse the killing of children.

No military is precise enough to call this “collateral.”

No leader is credible if they answer a mass grave with a shrug or a conspiracy.

The facts are still being investigated.

But the scale of harm is not in question.

And when the smallest coffins are lowered into the ground, the burden of truth rises — not falls.

So this must be said plainly:

• A school is not a battlefield.

• A child is not an acceptable loss.

• And any government involved — directly or indirectly — owes the world not a justification, but a confession.

Prophetic speech does not wait for the powerful to feel ready.

It speaks because the dead cannot.

Update:

The most authoritative, up‑to‑date figure comes from Al Jazeera’s live casualty tracker, which reports:

“168 children were killed in the Minab elementary school strike.”

This aligns with the higher end of earlier reports (115–168 total children), but the 168 figure is the latest confirmed and comes from Iran’s deputy health minister speaking directly to Al Jazeera.
