Zahra Bahrami

Zahra Bahrami was a seven-year-old girl from the city of Minab in Iran's southern Hormozgan province. She was a student at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school, which primarily served girls.

On the morning of February 28, 2026, a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school building. Zahra Bahrami was killed in the blast. The documented casualty list also includes the name Zeynab Bahrami, aged ten, suggesting a possible familial connection, though this was not officially confirmed.

The strike occurred during a period of heightened regional military activity in early 2026. Multiple states and non-state actors in the region possessed missile capabilities, and cross-border attacks were reported. The Iranian government stated the school was hit by a foreign missile, though no party claimed responsibility for the strike at the time.

Iranian state media reported the incident, publishing images of the damaged school and listing civilian casualties. The United Nations reportedly expressed concern over the attack on a civilian object. No independent international investigation into the specific strike was documented.

Zahra Bahrami's name was recorded among the civilian dead in news reports from the region. Her death, alongside that of other children at the school, was cited by humanitarian groups as an example of the conflict's impact on civilians.

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

Among those documented in the same conflict: Elna Abdullah Hussein Nia, Pierre al-Rahi, Hana Dehqani, Fatemeh Salari.
