Araghchi: Attack on Shajare Tayyabeh school in Minab was intentional

Pars Today – Iran's Foreign Minister stated at the UN Human Rights Council that the attack on the Shajar-e-Tayyabeh primary school in Minab was a pre-planned act, and contradictory statements from the U.S. cannot absolve the perpetrators of responsibility for this attack.

According to Pars Today, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, spoke at an urgent session of the UN Human Rights Council concerning the support for children and educational institutions, specifically addressing the terrorist attack by American aggressors on the Shajar-e-Tayyabeh school in Minab.

In his speech, he said: "Iran today is in the midst of an illegal war imposed upon it by two bullying nuclear regimes, namely the United States and Israel. This aggressive war is clearly devoid of any justification and is extremely brutal."

Araghchi added: "They initiated this aggression on February 28th, while Iran and the United States were engaged in a diplomatic process to resolve America's alleged concerns about Iran's nuclear program. For the second time in nine months, they betrayed diplomacy by disrupting and causing the collapse of the negotiation table.

He stated: "Among the most horrific manifestations of this aggression was the calculated and step-by-step attack on the 'Shajar-e-Tayyabeh' primary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab; where more than one hundred and seventy-five students and teachers were massacred in a completely deliberate and brutal manner.

Araghchi emphasized: "This barbaric attack is merely the visible tip of a much larger iceberg; an iceberg that hides far more dire tragedies beneath its surface, including the abhorrent normalization of the most heinous violations of human rights and humanitarian law, and the audacity to commit atrocious crimes in an atmosphere filled with complete impunity."
