More than 1,000 Students and Teachers in Iran Become Victims of US-Israeli Attacks

JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister (Menlu) Abbas Araghchi said 1,000 students and teachers and 600 school buildings have been victims of the United States and Israel's aggression against his country.

"More than 600 schools were destroyed or damaged across Iran and more than 1,000 students and teachers were martyred or injured," Foreign Minister Araghchi said in a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UN), Friday, March 27, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, including Tehran, causing infrastructure damage and casualties.

Iran then carried out retaliatory attacks against Israeli territory and American military bases throughout the Middle East.

The US and Israel initially claimed the attack was necessary to counter the threat from Iran's nuclear program, but it was later clear that they actually wanted a change of power in Iran.

On the first day of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed while a girls' elementary school in southern Iran was bombed to rubble.

The Iranian government said the total number of deaths from the US-Israeli attack on Iran so far has reached 1,300 people.
