Fereshteh Sangarzadeh

Fereshteh Sangarzadeh was 44 years old at the time of her death on 28 February 2026. She was killed when US missiles struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh (The Good Tree) primary school in Minab, Hormozgan province, southern Iran, during the opening hours of the US-Israeli military offensive against Iran. Given her age, she was likely among the teachers, school staff, or parents who had come to collect their children following the first strike.

Her name appears on the verified list of 61 victims published by Middle East Eye on 4 March 2026. The Iranian Ministry of Education confirmed that the school principal was also killed in the strike. According to the ISNA state news agency, parents received urgent calls from the school following the first impact; many arrived to find the building had been struck a second and third time.

Multiple international investigations concluded the US military was most likely responsible for the strikes. Eight munitions experts confirmed to The Washington Post that missile debris recovered at the site was consistent with a US Tomahawk cruise missile. Human Rights Watch called for a full war-crimes investigation. At least 165 people were killed in total.
