According to Reference News citing U.S. media reports, on April 6, a reporter asked First Lady Melania Trump to convey “some messages” to children in war zones in Iran. She stated: “All of this is for their future, so that they can be safe and secure in the future.”

According to the Iranian Ministry of Education, since the U.S. and Israel launched military actions against Iran, 763 schools have been destroyed by deliberate attacks in the past 36 days. On April 4, Hossein Salav, Minister of Science, Research, and Technology of Iran, said that more than 30 universities across Iran have been directly attacked. Salav stated that attacking civilian sites and educational and scientific research facilities not only violates international law but is also considered a crime against humanity.

Miyad Far, head of Iran’s National Emergency Management Organization, said on April 4 that during this war, 360 medical infrastructure facilities and 46 ambulances have been damaged. The Iranian Ministry of Health issued a statement on March 28, saying that in recent U.S. and Israeli invasions, over 230 children have been killed, and about 1,800 children injured.

On February 28, during the U.S. and Israel’s military operations against Iran, a primary school in Minab, southern Iran, was hit by an airstrike. Iran stated that the airstrike caused at least 175 deaths, most of whom were children. According to The New York Times, initial U.S. military investigations indicate that a U.S. “Tomahawk” cruise missile, due to targeting errors, struck the school.

Just two days later, on March 2 local time, First Lady Melania Trump hosted a theme meeting on child protection at the United Nations Security Council. Reports say that this meeting, titled “Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict,” was scheduled before the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran. Melania became the first current world leader’s spouse to preside over a UN Security Council meeting. At the meeting, she called on member states to protect children’s right to education and said: “The United States stands with children around the world. I hope peace will come to you soon.”

High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said on March 27 that the attack on a primary school in Minab, Iran, was “outrageous,” urging the U.S. to thoroughly investigate the incident and disclose the results. Speaking via video at an emergency debate at the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council, Bachelet said that the perpetrators have a responsibility to conduct a swift, fair, and transparent investigation, laying the groundwork for accountability. She stated that attacks by the U.S. and Israel increasingly target densely populated areas in Iran and aim to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure. Attacks on nuclear facilities are even “reckless and unjustifiable.” She called on the U.S. and Israel to cease their attacks on Iran and urged all parties to exercise restraint and return to negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian, speaking via video at an emergency UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, said that the attack on Minab’s primary school was “outrageous” and could not have been a mistake. Attacking schools constitutes “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.”

However, both the U.S. and Israel have withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council.

Notably, on the afternoon of April 6 local time, and early morning of April 7 Beijing time, during a White House press briefing, reporters asked President Trump whether the deliberate U.S. attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law, and whether Trump was worried that threatening to bomb power plants and bridges could constitute war crimes.

Trump repeatedly interrupted the questions, denounced the reporter from The New York Times as a loser, and said he was not worried at all because it was to ensure Iran would not have nuclear weapons. He also stated that the Iranian people are asking him to continue bombing their places of residence because they are willing to endure such suffering “for freedom.”
