Their Story
Reza Ranjbar was a first-grade student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, a city in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. He was six years old.
On the morning of February 28, 2026, the Shajareh Tayyebeh school building was struck by at least one missile. Reza Ranjbar was killed in the attack. He was reportedly among the youngest of the boys killed that day.
The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. The attack on Minab was part of a series of reported cross-border incidents in Iran's southern provinces at that time.
Iranian state media reported the strike and the deaths of children at the school. Local officials in Hormozgan province declared a public mourning period. Funeral processions were held in Minab.
Reza Ranjbar's name was listed among the victims in international reports documenting civilian casualties from the 2026 strikes. His death, with others at the school, underscored the impact of the conflict on children.
