Iranian students, teachers urge world to break silence on US-Israeli crimes in open letter

Iranian students and teachers have published an open letter in seven languages, calling on their counterparts around the world to break their silence over crimes committed by the Israeli regime and the United States against the Iranian people.

The letter, addressed to teachers globally, emphasizes that the Iranian people are fighting for the freedom and independence of humanity on behalf of the oppressed people worldwide.

It describes the ongoing war as "the school of global resistance against imperialism."

In its key passages, the letter stresses that this is a battle between right and wrong, and that everyone contributes to it according to their own integrity and conscience.

"We must stand on the right side of history," the letter reads, "so that tomorrow we can use the words 'human,' 'humanity,' and 'freedom' in our classrooms."

The letter comes in the wake of the unprovoked and illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic, which killed 3,375 people, many of them children.

The war was launched on February 28 in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, and targeted, among others, nearly 170 schoolchildren in southern Iran’s Minab city after their elementary school was bombed by the aggressors.

During the 40-day war of aggression, many other schools and universities across Iran were also bombed, which triggered massive anger and outrage across the world.

The open letter came as Iran marked the National Daughters' Day.
