Iranian Embassy in Cyprus Marks 168 Days Since Deadly Minab School Missile Attack
The Iranian embassy in Cyprus commemorated the missile attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, Iran, which claimed the lives of 168 schoolchildren on February 28. The event, held 168 days after the tragedy, aimed to highlight accountability and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The embassy emphasized that international law specifically protects children during armed conflicts and categorizes intentional attacks on non-military schools as war crimes. It referenced Amnesty International's call for a thorough investigation into whether the strike was due to identification or operational errors.
Rejecting claims that an autonomous AI system independently caused the incident, the embassy insisted that responsibility rests with the individuals who authorized and executed the attack. According to Iran's account, the school was hit twice, including a second strike while children were sheltering on site.
