Thousands gather in Iran to mourn schoolgirls killed during US-Israeli strikes
3 Mar, 2026
Thousands of mourners have filled the streets of the southern Iranian city of Minab for the funeral of 168 schoolgirls and staff killed in an attack on an elementary school on the opening day of the US-Israeli strikes.
Images from the funeral show row upon row of small, shallow graves – the final resting places of children aged mostly between seven and 12.
Participants dressed in mourning black and carried photographs of the deceased as the funeral procession moved through the city’s main square. Mourners carried coffins one after another, beating their chests in grief.
According to the Iranian government, 168 students at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school have been confirmed dead, along with at least 14 teachers and staff members and four parents who were at the school when the strike occurred.
Buried under the rubble
The school in Minab, in the province of Hormozgan, was struck on the morning of February 28 – the first day of the unprovoked US-Israeli military campaign that also killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other officials. According to Iranian officials, US and Israeli fighter jets carried out five airstrikes on the school, which was holding morning classes at the time. A nearby clinic was also hit hours later.
In the aftermath, grief-stricken parents gathered at the site of the destroyed school desperately waiting for answers amid the rubble. One father told local reporters that he arrived at the school to find “a very difficult and heartbreaking scene” with students and teachers “buried under the rubble.” He accused “criminal America” and Israel of being “the child-killers.”
Search operations concluded days later, with the final death toll standing at 168 schoolgirls. Hospital morgues were overwhelmed, forcing authorities to use refrigerated trucks to preserve bodies. The head of the Hormozgan Supreme Court, Mojtaba Ghahremani, confirmed that the majority of the victims have been identified but that 25 were still unrecognizable. Some families lost multiple children.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted images of the graves on X, stating: “These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds. This is how ‘rescue’ promised by Mr Trump looks in reality. From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.”
How the world has reacted to the massacre
The strike has drawn widespread international condemnation. The UN human rights office called for an investigation, with spokesman Ravina Shamdasani describing the images as capturing “the essence of the destruction, despair and senselessness and cruelty of this conflict.”
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk urged “the forces that carried out the attack” to investigate and ensure accountability. UNESCO said it was “deeply alarmed,” stating that attacks on educational institutions undermine the right to education.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Monday it “resolutely condemns the strike” on a girls’ school that “resulted in the deaths of dozens of innocent children.” It added that “any attacks on civilian targets – whether in Iran or Arab countries – are unacceptable and must be completely excluded.”
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also blasted the White House for publishing on TikTok a compilation video of its strikes on Iran to the ‘Macarena’ song on the same day of the funeral. This is, of course, no longer just cynicism or even double standards. This is …how far, in principle, are they prepared to go,” she said.
“Today they are burying Iranian schoolgirls. No apologies, no explanations. This brave new world is unbearable,” RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan wrote.
Belarus’s Foreign Ministry said it was “shocked by news from the Iranian city of Minab,” asking “how can the death of innocent girls, dreaming of the future, bring closer the resolution of any political issue? There is no goal that justifies the death of children.”
Chinese Ambassador to the UN Fu Cong said Beijing “strongly condemns” the strike, stating that “attacks on schools are one of the six most serious crimes against children recognized by the United Nations and should be severely condemned and resolutely resisted.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also condemned the attack as a “clear violation of international law” and expressed “deep sorrow” over the suffering being inflicted on civilians and innocent children.
Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai condemned the killings as “unconscionable,” saying the girls “went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short.”
A number of US officials have also condemned the attack, with former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a staunch supporter of US President Donald Trump, expressing outrage on social media. “I did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be,” she wrote.
California Governor Gavin Newsom also demanded explanations about “why our bombs – or Israeli bombs – were used to kill children, to kill young girls in schools, and what imminent threat existed at the time.”
The EU has not commented on the tragedy, but issued a statement on “developments in Iran” calling on “all parties to exercise maximum restraint, to protect civilians, and to fully respect international law.”
US and Israel dodge responsibility
The US and Israel have offered conflicting responses, with a Pentagon spokesman stating that Washington is “aware of reports concerning civilian harm” and is “looking into them.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed US forces “would not deliberately target a school.”
Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani stated that he was “not aware of any Israeli or American strikes” in the area, insisting that Israeli forces operate in “an extremely accurate manner.”

Sonia Gandhi raises doubts over India’s foreign policy after Khamenei killing
03.03.26
In a scathing criticism of the Modi government, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday said its silence on the targeted assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not neutral but an abdication, and raises serious doubts about the direction and credibility of India's foreign policy.
The former Congress president also demanded that when Parliament reconvenes for the second part of the Budget session, the government's "disturbing silence" over the breakdown of international order must be debated openly and without evasion.
In her article published in The Indian Express, Gandhi said there is an urgent need for "us to rediscover" the moral strength and articulate it with clarity and commitment.
"On March 1, Iran confirmed that its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, had been assassinated in targeted strikes carried out the previous day by the United States and Israel. The killing of a sitting head of state in the midst of ongoing negotiations marks a grave rupture in contemporary international relations," Gandhi said.
Yet, beyond the shock of the event, what stands out equally starkly is New Delhi's silence, she said.
The Government of India has refrained from condemning the assassination or the violation of Iranian sovereignty, she noted.
'Initially, ignoring the massive US-Israeli onslaught, the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) confined himself to condemning Iran's retaliatory strike on the UAE without addressing the sequence of events that preceded it. Later, he uttered platitudes about his 'deep concern' and talked of 'dialogue and diplomacy' -- which is precisely what was underway before the massive unprovoked attacks launched by Israel and the US," Gandhi said.
"When the targeted killing of a foreign leader draws no clear defence of sovereignty or international law from our country and impartiality is abandoned, it raises serious doubts about the direction and credibility of our foreign policy," Gandhi said in her article.
Silence, in this instance, is not neutral, she asserted.
Gandhi pointed out that the assassination was carried out without a formal declaration of war and during an ongoing diplomatic process.
"Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. A targeted killing of a serving head of state strikes at the heart of these principles," she said.
If such acts pass without principled objection from the world's largest democracy, the erosion of international norms becomes easier to normalise, she argued.
"The unease is compounded by the timing. Barely 48 hours before the assassination, the Prime Minister returned from a visit to Israel, where he reiterated unequivocal support for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, even as the Gaza conflict continues to draw global outrage over the scale of civilian casualties, many of them women and children," Gandhi said.
At a time when much of the Global South, along with major powers and India's partners in BRICS such as Russia and China, have kept their distance, India's high-profile political endorsement without moral clarity marks a visible and troubling departure, she said.
"The consequences of this event extend beyond geopolitics. The ripples of this tragedy are visible across continents. And India's stance is signalling tacit endorsement of this tragedy," she claimed.
Gandhi pointed out that the Congress has unequivocally condemned the bombings and targeted assassinations on Iranian soil, describing them as a dangerous escalation with grave regional and global consequences.
"We have extended condolences to the Iranian people and to Shia communities worldwide, reiterating that India's foreign policy is anchored in the peaceful settlement of disputes, as reflected in Article 51 of the Constitution of India. These principles '“ sovereign equality, non-intervention and the promotion of peace '“ have historically been integral to India's diplomatic identity. The present reticence, therefore, appears not merely tactical, but discordant with our stated principles," she said.
The present government would do well to remember that in April 2001, the then prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, during an official visit to Tehran, warmly reaffirmed India's deep ties with Iran, both civilisational and contemporary, Gandhi said.
"His (Vajpayee's) acknowledgement of those long-standing relations seems to hold no relevance for our current government," she said.
Noting that India's ties with Israel have, in recent years, expanded across defence, agriculture and technology, the Congress leader said it is precisely because India maintains relations with both Tehran and Tel Aviv that it possesses diplomatic space to urge restraint.
"But such space depends on credibility. Credibility, in turn, rests on the perception that India speaks from principle rather than expediency.
"This is not merely a moral proposition; it is a strategic necessity. Nearly 10 million Indians live and work across the Gulf. In past crises – from the Gulf War to Yemen to Iraq and Syria – India's ability to safeguard its citizens has rested on its credibility as an independent actor, not as a proxy," she argued.
She further asked as to why should countries in the Global South trust India to defend their territorial integrity tomorrow if it appears hesitant to defend that principle today.
"The appropriate forum for resolving this dissonance is Parliament. When it reconvenes, this disturbing silence over the breakdown of international order must be debated openly and without evasion," Gandhi said.
The targeted killing of a foreign head of state, the erosion of international norms, and the widening instability in West Asia are not peripheral matters; they touch directly upon India's strategic interests and moral commitments, she asserted.
"A clear articulation of India's position is overdue. Democratic accountability demands no less, and strategic clarity requires it," Gandhi said.
"India has long invoked the ideal of vasudhaiva kutumbakam '“ the world is one family. That civilisational ethos is not a slogan for ceremonial diplomacy; it implies a commitment to justice, restraint and dialogue, even when doing so is inconvenient.
"At moments when the rules-based order is under visible strain, silence is abdication," Gandhi said.
India has long-aspired to be more than a regional power and it has sought to serve as the conscience-keeper of the world, she said.
That stature was built on a willingness to speak for sovereignty, peace, non-violence and justice even when doing so was inconvenient, she said.
"At this moment, there is an urgent need for us to rediscover that moral strength and articulate it with clarity and commitment," Gandhi said.
Khamenei was killed in a major attack by Israel and the US in the early hours of Saturday.
The United States and Israel launched a major attack on Iran on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump calling on the Iranian public to seize control of their destiny and rise against the Islamic leadership that has ruled their country since 1979.

Muslim mothers barred from volunteering at Quebec schools over hijabs
March 3, 2026
Two Muslim mothers in Quebec say they have been told they can no longer volunteer at their children’s elementary schools because they wear hijabs.
Sabaah Khan, a resident of Brossard, says she has spent more than a decade volunteering at her children’s schools, helping with activities ranging from library duties to vaccination days.
“Volunteers are needed because the teachers and the staff are very overworked, and they need a lot of help,” Khan told Global News.
Khan says staff at the Riverside School Board recently told her she could no longer volunteer because of her hijab.
“I’m from here and my kids are from here,” she said. “And I’m being told that my free time is not good enough.”
The province banned teachers from wearing religious symbols on the job in 2019. Last year, the government barred all school personnel from wearing religious garb.
Khan says there has been confusion about how the rules are being applied. She says someone questioned whether she was allowed to enter a school gymnasium to watch her son play basketball.
“They’re constantly looking while playing a game to make sure mom’s still sitting there,” she said. “It’s just not fair and the damage it’s doing to the kids is very difficult.”
Another mother, Asma Qureshi, says she and her husband will be providing food for their child’s graduation but she has been told she cannot serve it at the event.
“We pay our taxes, we are law-abiding citizens, but we are still made to feel like second-class citizens just because of the way we look,” she said.
Both women say they do not blame the schools or school boards, saying staff who delivered the news appeared to have little choice.
In a statement, the Riverside School Board said it will approach the implementation of Bill 94 with professionalism and care and ensure staff are informed and supported.
The office of Quebec’s education minister said all parents who wish to get involved in their children’s school are welcome, provided they do not wear religious symbols.
“Students must be able to learn in a neutral environment, free of religious pressure, and in keeping with Quebec’s values of gender equality,” the statement said.
Khan says wearing a hijab her choice.
“This is a part of my choice to dress modestly and you can’t take away my right to my freedom of choice,” she said.
Khan and Qureshi say they plan to keep speaking out against Bill 94 in hopes things will change.

YMCA vs Hijab: How Iranian women are hitting back at moral policing on social media after Khamenei death
Mar 3, 2026
The YMCA dance, considered a gay anthem before it was co-opted by MAGA, appears to have found a new life with Iranians, in America and across the globe. As an account wrote: “Iranian American’s all across the country are hitting the Trump dance.” This led Melissa Wong to reiterate: “Has anyone else noticed that the ‘Iranian women celebrating’ videos are all women that are dressed like h*****kers.”
The tweet, like Dylan Thomas’s epochal words, did not go quietly into the night. It raged. Roughly 8,500 quote-tweets and more than 13,000 replies later, a meme dance had mutated into a referendum on authenticity, interventionism and the female body.
To understand why this moment detonated, one must first understand the climate in which it surfaced. The viral clips emerged during the March 2026 US-Iran crisis, when President Trump’s military strikes reportedly eliminated senior regime figures and triggered Iranian retaliation. The escalation unfolded alongside the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a figure who for more than three decades embodied the Islamic Republic’s ideological rigidity. His passing marked the end of an era defined by uncompromising positions on compulsory hijab and state-enforced morality.
For some, the strikes and Khamenei’s death represented dangerous instability. For segments of the Iranian diaspora long opposed to the Islamic Republic, they felt like the first tremors of possible regime transformation. Celebration, in that context, was not frivolous spectacle. It was historical release layered with uncertainty, grief, anger and cautious hope.
One widely circulated video showed a young Iranian American woman dancing provocatively to what online observers dubbed the “Trump dance,” a meme adaptation of YMCA choreography synonymous with campaign rallies. She wore a crop top and shorts. She moved without visible inhibition. For critics like Wong, a libertarian anti-interventionist voice sceptical of US military action abroad, the imagery looked curated and unrepresentative. Her suspicion was framed as a question of authenticity. Were these women reflective of typical Iranian society, or were they algorithm-friendly theatre?
But authenticity, in this debate, quickly became a proxy for modesty.
Iranian women hit back
The replies were not conciliatory.
@Hellokittyi_ wrote: “Both pics are me. You see, Melissa, unlike you, we had to fight for our basic rights, so we value our freedom.”
@lili__far responded bluntly: “Shut the f** up b****! Regards, A proud Persian girl.”*
@shirin_yfr added: “Women dressed however tf they want because they can :)”
@moonalinn concluded with clipped certainty: “We call it ‘freedom of choice’. Now cry about it hun.”
The language was sharp, but beneath it lay composure. These were not women arguing about fashion. They were rejecting the premise that credibility must be stitched into a hemline.
For decades, the Islamic Republic embedded compulsory hijab into law. Since the early 1980s, public dress codes have been enforced by the morality police. Hair became ideological terrain. Sleeves became symbols of obedience. Women were stopped in streets, reprimanded, fined, detained. The state’s claim was explicit: the female body reflected the moral order of the nation.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who served as Supreme Leader from 1989 until his recent death, consistently framed hijab as a non-negotiable pillar of the republic’s identity. Even after the 2022 death of Mahsa Jina Amini ignited the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests and forced visible recalibration in enforcement, the legal architecture remained intact. Patrols shifted in visibility. Surveillance increased. The statutory requirement endured.
That is the long shadow cast over these diaspora clips.
Inside Iran, women have historically been reprimanded for insufficient coverage. Outside Iran, they are now reprimanded for insufficient modesty according to someone else’s cultural template. The geography shifts. The instinct to regulate persists.
What makes this moment different is not the insult but the response to it.
The women in those videos are not seeking validation from Western liberalism or approval from conservative sensibilities. They are inhabiting a space denied to many at home. Celebration, for them, is layered. It is political. It is generational. It is memory set to music.
With Khamenei gone, Iran stands at a symbolic inflection point. Institutions do not evaporate with a single departure, and laws do not dissolve with a single strike. Yet symbols matter. The sight of diaspora women dancing openly, answering moral policing with derision rather than deference, signals a recalibration of confidence.
What those viral clips ultimately revealed was not decadence, nor propaganda, nor some elaborate performance of Westernised liberation. They revealed memory. Memory of morality police vans idling at street corners. Memory of being stopped, corrected, warned. Memory of hair treated as contraband and fabric treated as ideology. For decades, the female body in Iran was not simply personal space; it was public doctrine. The state wrote its authority onto sleeves and scarves.
So when diaspora women dance in crop tops and shorts to a kitschy anthem, they are not staging rebellion for the algorithm. They are inhabiting a freedom that many of their mothers negotiated cautiously and many of their peers at home still navigate carefully. They are moving without the quiet calculation that once accompanied every step outside. The instinct to police them online echoes the older instinct of the morality patrol, only digitised. Different uniforms, same impulse: measure, judge, regulate.
What unsettles critics is not the choreography. It is the absence of fear. The beat of YMCA will fade. The meme will age. The geopolitical crisis will shift into another headline. But the deeper shift lies elsewhere. A generation that grew up under the gaze of the morality police has learned to return the gaze without flinching. Their bodies are no longer sites of state instruction or social suspicion. They are no longer canvases for someone else’s virtue. They are expressions of choice. And once choice is lived rather than requested, it becomes very difficult to police again.

In SC, temple board to defend women's entry ban in Sabarimala temple
Mar 3, 2026
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Travancore Devaswom Board will file an affidavit before the Supreme Court to preserve existing traditions at Sabarimala temple, opposing the 2018 ruling that opened the hill shrine to women of all ages, board president K Jayakumar said Monday.
The decision was taken at a board meeting as the court considers petitions on the entry of women of menstruating age into the temple in Kerala's Pathanamthitta district. On Sept 28, 2018, a five-judge Constitution bench struck down by a 4-1 majority the restriction at Sabarimala - the centuries-old practice that bars women aged 10 to 50. The top court held that the ban violated equality and freedom of worship. It said biological factors cannot justify denial of access to a place of worship. "We will contest the Supreme Court decision. The board has no difference of opinion on this," Jayakumar said. "TDB is constituted under rules that mandate the protection of the temple and its traditions."
TDB is an autonomous statutory body headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram that manages more than 1,000 temples in Kerala. Formed in 1950, it is the largest of the state's five devaswom boards and oversees iconic shrines, most notably Sabarimala.
Addressing the board's counsel having opposed a review of the 2018 verdict in 2020, Jayakumar said that reflected a legal view at the time and not a shift in policy.
"The devaswom has only one stand - that traditions should be protected and followed," he said, adding that the board can place its position when the court takes up the review. The court has asked all parties to communicate their stand by March 15. The meeting was convened in that context, and the board resolved to adopt a position "aligned with the sentiments of devotees", Jayakumar said. Asked whether Kerala govt would mirror the board's stand, he said the question should be put to govt.

Afghanistan ranks 181st out of 181 countries in global women’s index
By Fidel Rahmati
March 3, 2026
Afghanistan ranked 181st out of 181 countries in the latest global Women, Peace and Security Index, underscoring worsening conditions for women nationwide.
Denmark ranked first among 181 countries assessed in the Women, Peace and Security Index, while Afghanistan placed last, according to the latest report by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security.
The index evaluates countries across 13 indicators measuring women’s inclusion, justice and security, and found that Afghanistan once again ranked 181st with the worst overall performance for women.
Among the 10 lowest-ranked countries, including Afghanistan, one in five women reported experiencing intimate partner violence, underscoring persistent abuse in fragile and conflict-affected states.
Countries such as South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, the Central African Republic and Yemen ranked slightly above Afghanistan but remained near the bottom of the global list.
In these countries, including Afghanistan, more than half of women surveyed said they did not feel safe in their communities, reflecting widespread insecurity and instability.
The report found that nearly three in four women in the lowest-performing states live close to armed conflict, while about one in six people globally are exposed to conflict conditions.
In 2024, more than 676 million women worldwide were living near conflict zones, marking a 74% increase compared to 2010 and the highest number ever recorded.
The study noted that setbacks in women’s rights have coincided with a worrying rise in armed conflict and political violence, disproportionately affecting women and vulnerable groups.
Countries at the bottom of the index, including Afghanistan, also performed poorly in access to justice, with average maternal mortality rates reaching 226 deaths per 100,000 live births, worse than the global average.
The report added that targeted political violence against women in these countries is three times higher than the global average, highlighting the severe risks faced by women in conflict-affected environments.
