Alireza Zarei

Alireza Zarei was a child living in Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. He was a member of the Zarei family, a household that would suffer multiple losses on a single morning.

On February 28, 2026, a missile struck a school building in Minab. Alireza Zarei was killed in the airstrike. He was one of at least five members of the Zarei family documented among the dead from the incident. The strike reportedly occurred during school hours.

The Minab School Strike occurred in February 2026 amid a broader regional conflict. The attack was part of a series of reported airstrikes on Iranian territory that month. Iranian state media attributed the strike to foreign forces.

Iranian state media reported the deaths and published images of the damaged school. The Iranian government condemned the attack as a 'crime'. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the specific strike.

Alireza Zarei is memorialized as one of several children killed in the Minab strike. His name, along with those of other victims, was listed in Iranian media reports documenting the casualties.
