At an emergency UN session focused on U.S. attack on a primary school in Minab in which 168 children were martyred, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the strike was neither accidental nor a miscalculation, but a deliberate act that constitutes both a war crime and a crime against humanity, requiring clear global condemnation and accountability.

Why it matters:  
The Minab school attack was part of the unlawful aggression by U.S.-Israeli imposed war, began on February 28, that targets civilian infrastructure.

The big picture:  
Araghchi argued that the incident reflects an ongoing illegal military campaign that has destroyed schools, hospitals, ambulances and water treatment plants inside Iran, stressing that the country is facing an unjustified and illegitimate state of war.

What he's saying:
“The attack on this school was neither a mere incident nor a miscalculation, but a war crime and a crime against humanity — one that requires clear condemnation from everyone and unambiguous accountability for those responsible.”  
“The United States overturned the negotiating table, even though we had taken the diplomatic path.”  
“The illegal aggression against our country has led to the destruction of schools, hospitals, ambulances and water treatment facilities.”  
“The attack on the school in Minab is unjustifiable, and we are in an unlawful and unjustifiable state of war.”  
“Our conscience will judge us; international law has been violated by the aggressors in an unprecedented manner.”

Go deeper:  
Iran is using the UN platform to emphasize the protection of civilians and state responsibility for war crimes.
