Liana Mohammadi

Liana Mohammadi was a first-grade student from the city of Minab in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. Her name, while not traditional, reflected a modern naming trend among some Iranian families.

On the morning of 28 February 2026, Liana was attending classes at the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school. According to Iranian state media and international reports, the school building was struck by at least one missile. The projectile reportedly hit a classroom, causing the structure to collapse. Liana Mohammadi was among the children killed instantly.

The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. Multiple armed groups operate in the broader area, and cross-border attacks had increased in frequency. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the school strike. Iranian authorities stated the missile was fired from across the Persian Gulf.

Iranian emergency services responded to the scene. State television broadcast images of rescue workers searching through rubble. The attack was condemned by the United Nations Secretary-General, who called for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, including schools, in conflict.

Liana Mohammadi's death was documented by international news agencies and human rights monitors as a civilian casualty. Her name, along with others killed in the strike, was listed in official Iranian announcements. The incident highlighted the vulnerability of non-combatants, particularly children, in the conflict.

Liana Mohammadi was killed during the Minab School Strike, part of a broader regional conflict (ongoing since February 2026). See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.

Among those documented in the same conflict: Elna Abdullah Hussein Nia, Pierre al-Rahi, Hana Dehqani, Fatemeh Salari.
