Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned the massacre of dozens of innocent schoolgirls in an Israeli attack against an elementary school in the southern province of Hormozgan, stressing that the vicious crime will not go unanswered. \u201cThe destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils,\u201d he wrote on the social media platform X on Saturday evening, posting a photo of the bombed-out school. He added, \u201cDozens of innocent children have been murdered at this site alone.\u201d The top Iranian diplomat pointed out that these crimes will not go unpunished. Local officials said at least 82 schoolgirls lost their lives and 92 others were injured in the joint US-Israeli aggression against the Shajareye Tayyebeh School in Minab. Minab’s governor, Mohammad Radmehr, said rescue and aid operations were underway at the school and that the security situation in the city was under control. The attack on the school was part of the joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran, which began early on Saturday. As in the June aggression, the offensive was launched amid diplomatic talks on Tehran\u2019s nuclear program. The Iranian armed forces launched massive missile strikes in retaliation, targeting the Israeli-occupied territories and American military bases across the region. The Israeli-American aggression came in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, mediated by the Omani government. Earlier on Saturday, in an interview with NBC News, asserted that \u201cregime change\u201d in the Islamic Republic of Iran is an \u201cimpossible mission.\u201d Iran\u2019s top diplomat said the Islamic Republic is a \u201cgreat nation with a magnificent civilization\u201d that has endured for thousands of years. \u201cWe know how to defend ourselves and we will survive,\u201d he told the US news channel, adding that the moment the aggression stops, Iran will also stop defending itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
