Minab: Shajareh Tayyebeh School, in the southern city of Minab, will be registered as a national site, an Iranian official has said, adding that the registration plaque will be unveiled concurrent with National Persian Gulf Day. Speaking on Wednesday, Adel Shahrzad, head of the Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Department in southern Hormuzgan Province - where the city of Minab is located - said that the unveiling ceremony is set to take place the following day.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the ceremony will recognize Shajareh Tayyebeh School as a nationally registered site, highlighting its significance as a symbol of sacrifice and resilience. The move aims to preserve Minab's historical memory and commemorate a tragic yet defining chapter in its recent past, he noted, in reference to US-Israeli airstrikes on the city, which targeted civilian sites including Shajareh Tayyebeh School. Nearly 170 girls were martyred when the school was struck on February 28, the first day of the recent US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran.

Shahrzad noted that beyond its historical value, Shajareh Tayyebeh School carries deep social and cultural importance, embodying the experiences and resistance of the people of Hormozgan. He emphasized that registering such sites helps safeguard cultural heritage while passing on historical narratives to future generations.
