Iran Opens School Year with Commemoration of Students Killed in Minab

Iran commenced its new academic year on September 23 with ceremonies commemorating the schoolchildren killed in a US attack on a school in Minab, according to Mehr News. The commemoration was held as schools across the country opened for the new term.

The attack occurred on February 28, when the United States launched what Iran described as an unprovoked war of aggression. The strike targeted a school in Minab, resulting in the deaths of multiple students. Iranian officials have consistently referred to the incident as a massacre of innocent children.

Mehr News reported that the start of the school year was marked by remembrance events honoring the victims. The report did not provide further details on the number of casualties or the specific circumstances of the attack.

The incident has been a point of tension in US-Iran relations, with Iranian authorities citing it as an example of US aggression. The commemoration reflects the ongoing impact of the event on Iranian society, particularly in the educational sector.

According to Mehr News, the new school year began with these memorial ceremonies, underscoring the significance of the loss to the community.
