"Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we shall return"

The blatant and cowardly aggression of the usurping Zionist regime, backed by the Great Satan — criminal America — against the territorial integrity and sacred soil of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the innocent martyrdom of schoolchildren in Minab, have grieved the heart of every free Iranian.

"Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we shall return"

The blatant and cowardly aggression of the usurping Zionist regime, backed by the Great Satan — criminal America — against the territorial integrity and sacred soil of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the innocent martyrdom of schoolchildren in Minab, have grieved the heart of every free Iranian.

This act of terrorism and child‑killing demonstrates the desperation and deep terror of the enemies of Islam in the face of the might of the Iranian nation. Our martyred schoolchildren are living proof of the countless crimes of criminal America and the murderous Zionist regime.

While strongly condemning this horrific crime, we declare that a decisive response to these atrocities will be delivered by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I offer my condolences for the martyrdom of these dear ones to the noble Iranian nation, the grieving families, and the educational community, and I beseech Almighty God for the highest ranks for the martyrs and a swift recovery for the wounded.
