Their Story
Mahdis Nazari was a first-grade student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. She was seven years old.
On the morning of Saturday, February 28, 2026, the school building was struck by at least one missile during school hours. Iranian state media and local officials reported that Mahdis was among the children killed in the attack. The strike caused significant structural damage to the educational facility.
The attack occurred amid a period of heightened regional military activity and cross-border strikes in early 2026. The incident was part of a series of reported strikes on Iranian territory during that period.
Iranian state television broadcast images of the damaged school and reported on the civilian casualties. The Iranian government condemned the strike as a deliberate attack on civilians. No group or state immediately claimed responsibility for the missile launch.
Mahdis Nazari is memorialized locally as one of the child victims of the Minab school strike. Her death, alongside those of her classmates, was cited in subsequent international reports on civilian casualties in the region.
