INTERNATIONAL – The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has issued a strong condemnation following a reported deadly attack on a school in Minab, a city in Iran’s Hormozgan Province, which allegedly resulted in the killing of students.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to initial reports cited by the HRCP, 165 schoolgirls and staff were killed on Saturday in what is being described as a US-Israeli attack on a girls’ school in the southern city of Minab.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) denounced the alleged attack as a grave violation of international law and a direct assault on humanity, asserting that educational institutions must never become battlefields.
The organization further stated that the killing of innocent students under any pretext is unacceptable and, if confirmed, would amount to a potential war crime, emphasizing that schools remain symbols of hope and peace.
The council held the United States fully accountable for the tragic and inhumane act, asserting that a nation positioning itself as a human rights champion must be held to the same standards it advocates globally.
The HRCP further warned that continued silence from the international community would only embolden further aggression against civilians in conflict zones.
The organization urgently called on global leaders and major human rights groups, including the United Nations, UNICEF, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, to intervene in the matter.
Nearly 800 people have been killed in Iran by Israeli and American strikes, according to the country’s Red Crescent.
Meanwhile, six U.S. service members were reported killed in action, and 11 people died in Israel as Iran launched retaliatory strikes, bringing the total death toll across the Middle East into the hundreds.
The intensifying conflict has sent economic shockwaves far beyond the immediate war zone, with stock futures plunging and energy prices soaring as fears of prolonged disruption spread through global markets.
Although some flights have resumed in the Middle East, thousands of travelers remain stranded after days of widespread cancellations and airspace closures across the region.
President Donald Trump suggested the conflict could last weeks while acknowledging that America’s stockpile of munitions could sustain prolonged warfare. In a contrasting statement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed the campaign would not become an endless engagement.
According to a source familiar with the strategy, United States operations are expected to unfold in phases, beginning at the edge of the country and gradually moving inward.
