Author and university professor George Katsiaficas says that the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab was deliberate, systematic, and part of a long‑standing pattern of US military conduct.
Katsiaficas frames the Minab tragedy within what he describes as a broader US strategy of using civilian massacres to break an opponent’s morale. In his assessment, the Minab strike fits this historical lineage: intentional, strategic, and a war crime that he believes warrants international prosecution.
