A former school in Minab, Iran, which was struck during the earliest attacks of the war, has been repurposed as a memorial for children. The site, which will no longer function as an educational facility, retains its original exterior decorations, including a bright blue gate adorned with symbols of science, literature, and a map of Iran.

The memorial serves as a physical reminder of the conflict's impact on civilian infrastructure. Visitors to the site are now guided past rows of markers, marking a transition from a place of learning to a commemorative space dedicated to the victims of the initial hostilities.
