Speaking at her weekly press conference, Mohajerani said the recent attacks targeted not only infrastructure but also civilians.
She stated that around 350 government employees were martyred during the attacks, describing them as ordinary civil servants who had "neither missiles nor uranium in their cars," in a rejection of claims that the strikes were directed solely at military or nuclear-related targets.
Referring to the extent of the damage, the spokeswoman said Chabahar's Maritime Control Tower had collapsed as a result of the attacks. Nevertheless, she stressed that the destruction "has not diminished the determination of the Iranian people in the slightest," expressing confidence that the country would overcome the difficult period.
Mohajerani also said Bushehr Airport has been rendered completely out of service. According to her, a newly acquired passenger aircraft was struck by an enemy missile, leaving only part of its tail intact.
The United States carried out strikes on several locations in Iran during the recent military aggression, an action that Tehran has condemned as a violation of international law and its national sovereignty.
Addressing the upcoming Arbaeen pilgrimage, Mohajerani described the annual event as one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, saying it serves as a symbol of unity among Muslims.
"The Arbaeen pilgrimage brings together Shia Muslims and Muslims from across the world," she said. "People from many different countries take part in this annual event, and even non-Muslims are drawn to the pilgrimage because of its deeply spiritual and reverent atmosphere."
She said the participation of millions of pilgrims from diverse nationalities demonstrates the unifying and humanitarian message of the Arbaeen pilgrimage beyond religious and cultural boundaries.
