Analysis
Iran’s legal framing
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran will use “all legal and international mechanisms” to pursue the people responsible for the Minab school attack and a separate strike on a residential area in Lamerd. He described the killings as a deliberate act to advance aggression and called the incidents clear war crimes.
What Iran says was targeted
Baghaei said schools, hospitals, and other places treated as safe zones under international law were hit over the past year during what he described as two imposed wars. He argued that the attacks were not limited to military or nuclear targets, but also struck Iran’s scientific and developmental foundations. He said universities have a duty to help explain the facts because they were also among the targets.
Documentation and accountability
According to Baghaei, Iran has already reported and documented cases it considers war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide for the United Nations, human rights bodies, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. He said military commanders and political officials involved in the design, ordering, and execution of the attacks should be prosecuted in domestic and international courts.
The article also cites figures Iran attributes to the strikes: on the first day of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, the Shajareh Tayyebeh all elementary school in Minab was hit, with at least 175 people killed, including 168 schoolchildren. It says a Lamerd residential area, including a sports hall, was struck by four US precision missiles, killing 24 people and injuring more than 130.
The piece is primarily a statement of accusation and accountability efforts, with Iran presenting itself as building a case for international scrutiny rather than describing any immediate judicial result.
Key points
- Iran says it will use legal and international channels to pursue those responsible for the Minab school attack.
- Baghaei called the attack on children a deliberate act and a clear war crime.
- He said schools, hospitals, and other protected sites were targeted during the conflict.
- Iran says it has already documented cases for the UN, human rights bodies, and the ICRC.
- The article says the Minab strike and a Lamerd strike caused heavy civilian casualties.
If Iran’s documentation is accepted by international bodies, it could strengthen its case that the attacks were war crimes. That might increase pressure for investigations and give affected families a clearer path to official recognition.
If foreign courts and international institutions do not act on Iran’s complaints, the effort may remain mostly symbolic. The dispute could also deepen tensions and harden the political fight around the strikes instead of producing accountability.
