Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has asserted that his nation will neither forgive nor forget the Minab school massacre. Speaking at an exhibition featuring a painting of the tragic event, Araghchi emphasized that Iran would continue to pursue justice for the victims, according to the state news agency IRNA.
During his remarks, Araghchi criticized human rights as a political tool used by certain Western states, claiming that these powers exploit such concepts for political gain and fail to appreciate their intrinsic value. He reaffirmed Iran's commitment to upholding human rights in accordance with their true meaning, and to safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people, rejecting any attempts to abuse these rights by others, IRNA reported.
The Minab school massacre occurred in February when a double strike targeted a girls' school in southern Iran, resulting in the deaths of 165 individuals, predominantly students aged between seven and twelve. Local officials have stated that around 170 girls were present at the school during the attack. Iran has attributed the incident to the United States and Israel.
