“Today, the Human Rights Council holds an urgent debate on the US wanton attack on Shajareh Tayyebe Elementary School in the City of Minab, on 28 February 2026. It was a deliberate, phased assault by two Tomahawk missiles in order to claim more innocent lives,” Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Friday.
“The world must stand up to this grave breach of international law, including human rights and humanitarian law, as this is merely one, among many, examples of American-Israeli war crimes & crimes against humanity committed during the past 28 days of their illegal war against Iran,” he added.
“Those innocent kids and their teachers who were slaughtered in cold blood symbolize the barbarity and brutality of the invaders. They must be held accountable for their egregious rights abuses & genocidal war crimes,” the Iranian spokesman stated.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
