Pezeshkian condemns ‘savage’ US-Israeli attack on school that killed nearly 90
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has condemned the “savage” US-Israeli attack on an elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan, which left at least 85 schoolgirls dead.
“This savage act adds another black page to the record of countless crimes by the aggressors, a memory that will never be erased from our nation’s history,” the president said in a message on Saturday.
On Saturday morning, the Israeli regime targeted the Shajareh‑Tayyebeh Girls’ Elementary School. The death toll has risen to at least 85 students killed and 92 others injured, local authorities said. Some victims remain trapped under the rubble, and rescue efforts are ongoing.
Pezeshkian expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims and the nation. “I share the heavy sorrow of the victims’ families, the noble people of Minab, and all of Iran, and I stand with them in this grief.”
Screams of grief filled the air in Minab, Iran, after an US-Israeli attack on an elementary school martyred multiple students.

He also called on rescue, medical, and relevant authorities to mobilize all resources and to prioritize “immediate and continuous assistance to the injured and the families of the fallen.”
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also condemned the massacre of dozens of innocent schoolgirls in the attack against an elementary school in Hormozgan, stressing that the vicious crime will not go unanswered.
“The destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils,” he wrote on the social media platform X on Saturday evening, posting a photo of the bombed-out school.
The United States and the Israeli regime launched a joint aerial attack against Iran early on Saturday, striking targets in Tehran and other cities.
