The United Nations Human Rights Council has approved Iran’s request for an urgent debate on the devastating US-Israeli airstrike that killed 168 young girls at an elementary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab, marking a diplomatic victory for Tehran as it seeks international accountability for a war crime.

In the latest Israeli-American terrorist aggression against Iran, an attack on an elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan province, claimed the lives of 165 children.

Hormozgan’s Hara mangroves are Iran’s largest, UNESCO-recognized ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, fisheries, coastal protection, carbon storage, livelihoods, and sustainable eco-tourism.

Hormozgan’s vernacular architecture—including mosques, castles, caravanserais, and ab-anbars—reflects climate-driven ingenuity and maritime heritage, telling a story of adaptation, resilience, and cultural identity.

Hormozgan’s ports – from Shahid Rajaee to island harbors – power Iran’s trade, transit, fisheries, and tourism, forming a strategic maritime ecosystem linking global commerce, connectivity, and coastal livelihoods.

Hormozgan province is home to arid deserts, salt flats, mangrove forests, coral reefs, and vividly colored soils, showcasing exceptional biodiversity and establishing it as a leading destination for sustainable, nature-based tourism in Iran.

Hormozgan's idyllic coastal villages blend Persian culture, maritime traditions, and unique landscapes, offering sustainable tourism through eco-tours, traditional crafts, and local cuisine.
