Their Story
Reza Habashian was a first-grade student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab, a port city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. He was seven years old.
On the morning of February 28, 2026, during school hours, the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school building was struck by at least one missile. Reza Habashian was among the children killed inside the building. Iranian state media reported the attack resulted in multiple civilian casualties.
The strike occurred amid a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. The incident was part of a series of reported cross-border attacks and retaliations involving Iran and other actors in the region at that time.
Iranian authorities publicly condemned the strike, labeling it a war crime. State television broadcast images of the damaged school and funerals for the victims. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Reza Habashian's name was listed among the dead in international news reports documenting the incident. His death, alongside those of his classmates, was cited by human rights monitors as an example of the conflict's impact on children.
