Arad Ahmadizadeh

Arad Ahmadizadeh was a child from Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. He was a student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school, a place of learning for local children.

On the morning of February 28, 2026, a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school building during school hours. Iranian state media reported that Arad Ahmadizadeh was among those killed in the attack. The strike reportedly caused significant damage to the school structure.

The attack occurred amid a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. The strike on Minab was part of a series of reported cross-border incidents, though no group immediately claimed responsibility for this specific attack. Iranian officials attributed the strike to foreign forces.

Iranian state media broadcast images of the damaged school and reported multiple civilian casualties, including children. The Iranian government condemned the attack as a war crime. Funerals were held in Minab for the victims, including Arad.

Arad Ahmadizadeh's name was recorded in lists of civilian casualties published by Iranian news agencies. His death, alongside other children at the school, was cited in subsequent international reports on the conflict's impact on civilians.
