Khadijeh Darvishi

Khadijeh Darvishi was a child from Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. She was a student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school. Her given name, Khadijeh, is the Arabic form of Khadijah, the name of the Prophet Muhammad's first wife, a central figure in Islamic tradition.

On the morning of February 28, 2026, the Shajareh Tayyebeh school building in Minab was struck by a missile. Reports from Iranian state media and international news agencies stated the attack occurred during school hours. Khadijeh Darvishi was among those killed at the scene.

The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. Multiple armed groups and state actors were engaged in cross-border exchanges. The school was reportedly located in a region that had seen previous military activity.

Iranian authorities publicly condemned the strike. State media reported that funerals were held in Minab, and the Iranian government declared a day of mourning in Hormozgan province. The attack was widely reported by international news agencies.

Khadijeh Darvishi is memorialized locally in Iran as one of the child victims of the Minab school strike. Her name, along with others killed, was cited in subsequent diplomatic statements from Iranian officials calling for protections for civilians.

Khadijeh Darvishi was killed during the Minab School Strike, Iran (ongoing since February 2026). See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.
