Iran held a mass funeral this Tuesday for at least 165 schoolgirls killed in an air strike on the southern town of Minab on Saturday. But online, some users claim the tragedy was staged by Iranian authorities. In this edition of Truth or Fake, we confirm that the strike hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school, a building separated from nearby IRGC military barracks for nearly a decade.

We also examine claims that the US or Israel were responsible, as well as false allegations of a failed Iranian rocket launch.
