Based on my research, this claim is false. The Iranian regime has not confessed that the IRGC bombed an Iranian school. This claim appears to be part of a misinformation campaign.

Reasoning:

• The claim originated from a social media post on March 1, 2026, that was viewed millions of times, but multiple independent fact-checkers have debunked it¹²
• The supposed "confession" was traced to a screenshot from a Telegram channel called "Radio Gilan" that is supportive of the Iranian monarchy (pro-Pahlavi), not an official Iranian government source³²
• PolitiFact investigated and found no official statements, state media reports, or news stories showing Iran's government took responsibility for the attack²
• The Iranian government actually attributed the school strike to "American and Israeli missiles," with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei describing it as "an egregious, unwarranted act of aggression"¹
• The Associated Press reported the school was likely hit by U.S. missiles, and Reuters later reported that U.S. officials believed American forces were likely responsible for the strike⁴¹
• The disinformation campaign involved false images—one allegedly showing a failed IRGC missile launch was actually from a different city 800 miles away with snowcapped mountains that don't exist in the southern region where the school is located³⁴

The February 28, 2026 strike on Shajareh Tayyibeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan Province did result in over 100 deaths including many children, but there is no evidence Iran admitted responsibility. The disinformation appears designed to deflect blame from the U.S.-Israeli military campaign that began that day¹⁴²³.
