345 students and teachers killed in US-Israeli attacks, says Iran

The front page of the Javan newspaper (l) and the front page of the Jam Jam newspaper, which features a cartoon of US President Donald Trump drowning in the Strait of Hormuz with the headline - Marine Bluff, - are on sale at a newsstand in Tehran on Monday, April 13, 2026. The failure of US-Iran peace talks has left the US President with several unpalatable options, as analysts say his order to blockade the strategic Strait of Hormuz could further complicate his next move on April 12, 2026. Any hopes that US Vice President would emerge from the marathon day of negotiations with top Iranian officials with a deal to end a war that has rippled across the Middle East were dashed when he left hosts Pakistan empty-handed. -- Photo by ATTA KENARE / AFP

ISTANBUL (Bernama-Anadolu): At least 345 students and teachers were killed in US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began on Feb 28, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing local media.

The toll included 278 students and 67 teachers, the state-run IRIB reported, citing the Iranian Education Ministry.

The attacks have also wounded 196 students and 26 education staff, it said, adding that 933 schools, 54 administrative facilities, 17 cultural centres, 36 sports halls, and eight student camps have been damaged or destroyed.

More than 3,300 people have been killed in US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran since Feb 28. Tehran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel, Iraq, Jordan, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets before a two-week ceasefire was announced on Tuesday.

Iranian and US delegations concluded 21 hours of talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, early Sunday without reaching an agreement.
