Iran to file int’l complaint over deadly strike on Minab primary school
Tehran has described the attack, the deadliest reported civilian incident since the start of coordinated US-Israeli military operations against Iran, as a war crime, IRNA reported.
According to the ministry, the Interior Ministry is coordinating with the Education Ministry, while the Foreign Ministry prepares to submit the case to international judicial and human rights institutions. Authorities have compiled evidence, including the identities and photographs of children killed or injured in the strike, and forwarded the documentation for international submission.
Iranian officials stated that students were attending classes when the facility came under attack. They emphasized that the strike violated fundamental principles of international humanitarian law and contradicted Washington's stated commitment to human rights.
The assault occurred on February 28, the opening day of what Tehran has denounced as an unprovoked act of aggression.
Iran warned that perpetrators should not expect impunity and urged international institutions to act swiftly to bring those responsible to trial.
Alongside these legal efforts, Tehran indicated that Iran's armed forces are pursuing measures under the country's "legitimate right of defense" to hold those behind the attack accountable.
