168 days have passed since the savage attack by the terrorist and criminal US regime on the Shajare Tayyibeh School and the martyrdom of 168 students.
A selection of tweets published by the Embassy on Saturday, August 15, 2026:
168 days have passed. 168 days since the innocent children of Minab took flight. 168 days since the grief that settled upon the hearts of a nation. And 168 days1 since a crime that history itself is ashamed to recount.

168 is not merely a number; it is a mark of the innocence of lost children, a scar and brand left by Minab's wound, a cipher for the resolve of a nation summoned to the arena, and a symbol of epic and blood for all eternity.
***
Minab is not just a school and a city; it is an expanse as vast as Iran. It is a geography of sacrifice, honor, dignity, empathy, loyalty, courage, and iron wills, and a history of 168 days of epic blood and resistance.

The missile attack by the criminal American regime on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, which shed the blood of 168 children and innocent people, is an objective and documented reality. The Epstein associates have tried, through rhetoric of denialism, falsehood, evasion, shirking of responsibility, dishonesty, and projection, and ultimately through a brief and vague confession, to keep their crime and villainy concealed. But the truth is manifest, and the reality is clear.
