Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei on Tuesday accused the US of committing a “despicable war crime” following a missile strike on a sports hall in Lamerd, Fars Province, that Tehran says killed 24 civilians, including teenage volleyball players and a two-year-old child, while injuring more than 130 people.
In a post on X, Baghaei said he was briefed by the Iranian member of Parliament for Mehr, Mousa Mousavi, about a ” devastating American missile strike” on a residential area and sports hall in the city of Lamerd.
“On the afternoon of Saturday, 9 Esfand 1404 (28 February 2026) the same day students at the Shajareh_Tayyibeh_School in Minab were massacred by Tomahawk missiles–a residential area in Lamerd, including a sports hall, was struck by U.S. Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM),” Baghaei said.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, the strike “slaughtered 24 persons, including a 2-year-old girl, several teenage volleyball players”, while “more than 130 persons were injured, many of whom now face permanent disabilities.”
