Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the United States' aerial bombings that killed many civilians in Iran, particularly criticizing the strikes on schools and scientists. At a meeting with President Vladimir Putin during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, Pezeshkian said, "They killed our scientists, innocent schoolchildren, and our commanders.
There is no justification for such actions." He emphasized that the U.S. has no right to impose sanctions, violate international law, or act aggressively. Pezeshkian stated that Iran is confronting the U.S. from a position of strength and reaffirmed Iran's commitment to the memorandum of understanding between the two nations. He also thanked Russia for its support during the conflict and within international organizations.
Russian President Putin acknowledged the unstable ceasefire but pledged Russia's continued solidarity with Iran, including supplying goods and commodities. Six months after a missile strike destroyed an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing 156 people, including 120 children and 26 teachers, the U.S. government has not officially taken responsibility, with the Pentagon claiming it is still under investigation.
The incident is part of impeachment articles filed against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for gross negligence and abuse of power.
