Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has shared an image on social media showing the graves of 160 schoolgirls allegedly killed during recent U.S. strikes, sharply criticizing Washington’s actions.
Posting on X, Araghchi displayed a photograph of what he said were the burial sites of elementary school students who lost their lives in an American attack. In his statement, he wrote that this was the “rescue” promised to the Iranian people by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Iranian foreign minister further condemned the violence, stating that from Gaza to Minab, innocent lives have been brutally taken. According to Iranian authorities, the 160 young girls were laid to rest in a cemetery located in Minab.
The incident reportedly occurred during joint U.S.-Israeli strikes carried out on February 28. The operation was referred to by President Trump as Operation EPIC FURY. Iranian officials claim that during these attacks, an elementary school in Minab was hit, resulting in the deaths of dozens of students.
Washington has not publicly confirmed the specific allegations regarding the school strike. However, the escalation has further intensified diplomatic tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both sides exchanging accusations over civilian casualties and military objectives.
The release of the image has sparked widespread reaction online, with many calling for an independent investigation into the incident. As the conflict continues, concerns are mounting over the humanitarian impact and the growing toll on civilians caught in the crossfire.
