Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf carried images of victims from the deadly Minab school strike on his flight to Islamabad for crucial talks with the United States, underscoring the human cost of the conflict. The gesture refers to the February 28 attack in Minab that killed over 150 civilians, many of them children, and remains a deeply sensitive issue in Iran. Qalibaf’s move is seen as a symbolic message ahead of negotiations, as Iran seeks accountability, sanctions relief, and stronger ceasefire assurances during the high-stakes dialogue.
