US-struck girls' school in Iran’s Minab to become museum of resistance: Minister
Iran's Minister of Education has announced that the school in Minab, which was struck by the United States on the first day of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, will be converted into a permanent museum of resistance.
Speaking to reporters during a ceremony commemorating Teacher's Day, Alireza Kazemi referred to the Minab tragedy and the necessity of rebuilding and preserving its memory.
"The Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab must be rebuilt in the best possible way," Kazemi said. "This school must become a lasting museum of this horrific atrocity — and at the same time, of the resistance and the proud and powerful war of the Iranian nation. It will play a role in the future as one of the country's largest cultural and educational centers."
He further noted that the issue of the Minab students and the Shajareh Tayyebeh School had only recently gained attention in global public opinion.
According to him, the tragedy had now taken its place in the hearts of all free people around the world, and he expressed confidence that freedom-loving nations would seek justice for the students.
Referring to the situation of damaged schools caused by the US-Israeli aggression, Kazemi said “in total, approximately 1,200 schools and educational units have been damaged. Of these, more than 800 schools have been completely rehabilitated, and students can attend them."
"Only about 20 schools require full demolition and reconstruction. New designs have been prepared for them, and their construction will begin," he added.
The United States and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, killing over 3,300 Iranians.
On the very first day of the war, US Tomahawk missiles struck Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, in southern Iran, killing at least 175 people — most of them schoolgirls.
