The United States could have saved two more of such missiles if it had not attacked the Minab elementary school, Esmaeil Baghaei wrote in his X account late on Sunday.
Two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that the US has so far used hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles against Iran, several times more than the number procured for the military each year.
In his post, Baghaei said, “If they [the US] had saved the two missiles they fired at Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab on February 28, they could have proudly boasted today of two extra Tomahawks in their inventory to drop on another school, a university, a hospital or a cultural-historical site.”
On Friday, the UN Human Rights Council held an emergency session to universally condemn the deadly US missile strike on the Shajare Tayyebe Elementary school on February 28, demanding immediate accountability for the massacre of over 170 students and teachers, according to Press TV.
The urgent debate was convened in Geneva at the request of the Islamic Republic of Iran, China, and Cuba.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi delivered a virtual statement to the council, noting the "blatantly unjustified and brutal" aggression began while Tehran and Washington were engaging in a diplomatic process.
"Among the most harrowing manifestations of this aggression," Araghchi maintained, was the "calculated, phased assault on Shajare Tayyebe Elementary school."
He added that the targeting of civilian infrastructure is intentional, noting that over 600 schools have been damaged and more than 1,000 students and teachers killed or wounded in recent weeks.
