The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has rejected as totally baseless the US Central Command (CENTCOM)’s narrative regarding the missile strike on Minab’s Shajareh Tayyebeh school, saying the US is attempting to shun accountability for the massacre of more than 170 students and teachers.

In a post on his X account Esmaeil Baghaei said that the claim by US Central Command that the targeted Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab was located within a missile launch facility is a baseless fabrication and an appalling lie.
On the very first day of the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression on February 28, US Tomahawk missiles struck the girls’ elementary school during school hours, killing at least 175 people, most of them schoolgirls.
Baghaei stressed that targeting an active educational institution during school hours constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and a clear war crime. He emphasized that the civilian nature of the site cannot be obscured by technical misrepresentations.
The Iranian spokesman demanded that the US military commanders and authorities responsible for this catastrophic assault must be held fully accountable under international law.
