Their Story
Hamed Par-ashegh-nezhad was a seven-year-old boy from Minab, a market town and cultural hub for the Bandari people in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. His compound surname, Par-ashegh-nezhad, is distinctly regional, rooting him in the close-knit family structures common to the area.
On the morning of February 28, 2026, Hamed was at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab. The building was struck by a missile, reportedly during an airstrike. Hamed was killed in the attack alongside other children and school staff.
The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. The incident was part of a series of reported cross-border attacks and retaliations involving Iran and neighboring states, though official attributions for the Minab strike were contested.
Iranian state media reported the attack and the deaths of multiple children. The Iranian government condemned the strike, labeling it a war crime. International human rights organizations called for an independent investigation.
Hamed Par-ashegh-nezhad is memorialized locally as one of the youngest victims of the 2026 violence. His death, and that of his classmates, underscored the civilian toll of the conflict, particularly on children.
