On
August 28, 2026, Araghchi attended the opening of the 'Minab School' exhibition
in Tehran, featuring artworks by Iranian artists honoring victims of the
February 28 attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab.
The strike killed at least 156 people, including 120 children, next to an IRGC compound; independent analyses point to a U.S. Tomahawk missile, though U.S. officials have not confirmed and early Trump administration statements blamed Iran.
Araghchi called the victims a heroic symbol, urged human rights advocates to visit, and hoped the exhibit would travel abroad amid ongoing local commemorations.
