The claim that a US or Israeli missile strike hit a girls' school in Minab, Iran on February 28, 2026 cannot be verified through available evidence. The date references a future event that has not occurred as of March 2026. No credible reporting from government sources, international organizations, or established news agencies documents such an incident.

The US Navy sank the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Dena in February 2025 during military operations in the Arabian Sea. The vessel was confirmed to be a naval warship, not an unarmed civilian ship. While the US did not conduct rescue operations immediately after the sinking, survivors were recovered by other vessels including Sri Lankan authorities, though the circumstances of the rescue operations remain disputed.
