Mohammad Shah-dousti

Mohammad Shah-dousti was an eight-year-old boy from Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. His family name, Shah-dousti, is a traditional Persian compound meaning 'friendship with the king' or 'loyal to the king,' reflecting a linguistic link to Iran's historical cultural vocabulary.

On the morning of Saturday, 28 February 2026, Mohammad was attending classes at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school. According to reports, the school building was struck by a missile during an attack on the city. Mohammad was killed in the strike.

The Minab School Strike occurred in February 2026 amid a broader regional conflict. The attack on Minab was part of a series of military operations reported in southern Iran that month. No single party claimed immediate responsibility for the specific strike on the school.

Iranian state media reported the incident, stating that several civilians, including children, were killed in Minab. Local officials in Hormozgan province confirmed casualties and damage to the school building. Public mourning was reported in the city.

Mohammad Shah-dousti is memorialized as one of the child victims of the 2026 strikes on Iran. His name and age were recorded by Iranian news agencies documenting the casualties. No further personal details about his life or family have been widely published.
