The official Account of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in India took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in #Minab."

Another statement published by other Iranian Embassy accounts read, "Do they have children of their own, and can they look their kids in the eye? Can they sleep peacefully at night without thinking about their horrific crime?"

An analysis by The New York Times revealed that the US was reportedly most likely behind the attack, which was condemned by the Iranian government and human rights organizations such as UNESCO. The report states that the incident occurred during a precision strike aimed at an IRGC naval base.
