The Iranian human rights official, Askar Jalalian, has announced that legal efforts are underway to seek justice for victims of the February attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab. The country is pursuing national and international legal avenues, according to the state news agency IRNA. Jalalian stated that Iran has mobilised its national resources for judicial proceedings and is working to raise international awareness of the attack, preserving it in Iran's national history.
This announcement comes in the wake of a UN-mandated fact-finding mission's conclusion that the US may have committed war crimes in strikes on the school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd on 28 February. Local authorities reported a death toll of 156 in Minab, while independent sources, citing the UN, reported a total of 157 deaths.
