The Minab school bombing is part of a longer history of US foreign policy interventions in the Middle East, including the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and the ongoing impact of the US-led sanctions regime. This historical context is essential for understanding the structural factors driving regional instability.
The Minab school bombing highlights the devastating consequences of US foreign policy in the Middle East, perpetuating a cycle of violence and instability.
