On the first day of the Iran war, a primary school in Minab was bombed.
156 people were killed - 120 of them children, plus an unborn child.
For months, myself and colleagues at Sky News have investigated what happened.

Sky's Data and Forensics team has used satellite imagery to track the Houthis' development of defensive lines across Yemen.
Over the last week, the Houthis have launched a major offensive across the coastline of the Red Sea.
@_annoaam explains what we know
Delighted that our investigation into the Minab school bombing has been nominated for one of the Investigation of the Year awards at the Society of Editors Media Freedom Awards.
The culmination of months of work from so many people across Sky News and Forensic Architecture.
