8:56Now PlayingThe BBC's senior investigations correspondent Nawal Al-Maghafi, has just returned from the site of an Iranian school where more than 150 people - most of them children - were killed by a strike on the first day of the US-Israel war with Iran.
She tells us that victims' families are still searching for the truth about what happened at the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab.
US media have reported that American military investigators believe it is likely that US forces carried out the strike unintentionally. Expert analysts say footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) compound next to the school during the same wave of strikes.
The US government has not admitted responsibility for the strike. President Donald Trump has said we may never know "whose fault" it was, because "there were missiles flying all over the place".
Nawal Al Maghafi reported from Iran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.
