The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently welcomed a new baby girl, Viviana, and shared a heartwarming post on social media. However, Iran's embassy in Armenia responded with a bitter message, referencing the Minab killings of schoolchildren.
On February 28, a school in Minab, Iran, was bombed, killing over 160 children aged five to seven. Iran alleges the US was responsible for the attack. The embassy's post read, 'Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.'
As the US awaits Iran's response to proposals aimed at ending the conflict and opening peace talks, tensions remain high. The US State Department reported that US Senator Marco Rubio met with a Qatari official in Miami to discuss efforts to deter threats and promote stability in the Middle East.
Iran's army spokesperson warned that any fresh attack would be met with 'surprise' weapons and new methods of warfare. The country also cautioned that countries complying with US sanctions could face difficulties crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
