Iran on Wednesday listed its girls' elementary school bombed in the U.S.-Israeli airstrike as a national historical site.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab city was struck on February 28, the first day of the large-scale military operation launched by the United States and Israel against Iran.

The airstrike resulted in at least 165 deaths, most of whom were girls around 10 years old.

The listing of the historical site aims to protect the historical memory of Minab City and commemorate the tragic event, and a related ceremony will be held for the site on Thursday, according to an official in charge of the local cultural heritage, tourism, and handicrafts department.
