YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn the first day of the war in Iran, a primary school in the remote town of Minab was bombed. 156 people died, including 120 pupils and 26 of their teachers.
Ever since people have demanded answers. Who was behind it? Was it a terrible mistake? If so, how could such a horrific accident have been allowed to happen?
Many have pointed the finger at the United States. But in June President Trump told Sky News “I don’t think it was us”.
Sky News has spent the four and a half months since the attack investigating what happened, how it happened and who might be responsible.
Sky’s Dominic Waghorn reports from the town – the first journalist from a major western news organisation to go there – where he speaks to survivors, bereaved parents and emergency workers.
We painstakingly reconstruct the site of the attack to work out precisely what happened.
And we hear from whistleblowers in the US military who make startling claims about what could have been behind the tragedy.
