Mohammadreza Shahsavari

Mohammadreza Shahsavari was an eight-year-old boy from Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. His surname, Shahsavari, is a distinctly Iranian name historically connected to equestrian traditions.

On the morning of February 28, 2026, a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab. Mohammadreza was inside the school building at the time of the impact. He was one of at least six children reportedly killed in the strike, which also wounded several others.

The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional tensions and military activity in early 2026. The Iranian government stated the school was hit by a missile launched from a foreign military vessel in the Gulf of Oman. The United States Central Command later confirmed it had conducted defensive strikes against targets in the region that day, stating it targeted facilities used by Iranian-backed militias.

Iranian state media reported the incident, and local officials declared a public mourning period in Hormozgan province. Images of the destroyed school building and reports of the children's deaths circulated on social media and in regional news outlets.

Mohammadreza Shahsavari is memorialized locally as one of the youngest victims of the Minab strike. His name, alongside others killed, was cited in subsequent Iranian diplomatic statements condemning the attack.

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