Iran holds funeral for 165 children murdered in US-Israeli aggression
Mourners filled the streets on Tuesday morning carrying small coffins and photographs of the young victims, who perished as a result of the atrocity against the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, as cries and prayers echoed throughout the city.
A funeral procession has begun for the victims of the deadly strike that targeted an elementary school in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan during the latest Israeli-American aggression against the Islamic Republic, as grieving families gathered to bid farewell to the children killed in the attack.
Mourners filled the streets on Tuesday morning carrying small coffins and photographs of the young victims, who perished as a result of the atrocity against the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, as cries and prayers echoed throughout the city.
The ceremony came three days after the US-Israeli terrorist strike that devastated the facility, leaving 165 children dead and nearly 100 others injured.
Following the tragedy, Minab’s prosecutor confirmed the scale of the casualties, denouncing the “criminal” and “savage” attack.
“Among the martyrs are also educational staff and parents of the students,” he noted at the time.
The entirely civilian two-story building housed a boys’ school on the ground floor and a girls’ school on the first floor.
In the immediate aftermath, thick smoke rose from the wreckage as debris scattered across nearby roads.
Distressed families rushed to the scene as emergency teams searched through the rubble.
President Masoud Pezeshkian has offered condolences over the “heartbreaking tragedy following the treacherous attack that has grieved the hearts of all Iranians and free people.”
