Blood of Minab school martyrs exposed arrogance for history: AQR Custodian 

Ayat. Ahmad Marvi, the Custodian of Astan Qods Razavi (AQR), described the terrorist attack on Shajareh Tayebeh School in Minab as a grave crime that saddened every person of conscience and shook the world.
Speaking on April 22 at a gathering of the families of the martyred students held in Quds Hall of Imam Reza Shrine, Ayat. Marvi said: “The tragedy affected not only the parents, teachers, and people of Minab and Iran, but also all individuals who possess a sense of human dignity and justice”.
AQR Custodian praised the young victims, stating: “Although the children were small in age, their sacrifice elevated them to a place of lasting historical significance”.
“Your children became great—not merely in the scale of Iran, but in the scale of history,” the top official stressed.
 “As long as history and humanity endure, Minab will be remembered for its innocence and righteousness, while the brutality and cruelty of the enemies of Islam and humanity will also be recorded”, he added.
Ayat. Marvi said the martyrdom of the students exposed the hypocrisy of those who claim global leadership and championship of human rights.
“The criminal United States presents itself to the world as a defender of freedom, law, and human dignity,” he said. “But the martyrs of Minab exposed its true face.”
Quoting the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, AQR’s head said: “Global powers hide iron fists in velvet gloves; however, the Minab tragedy removed that disguise and revealed the reality behind Western liberal democracy”.
He further stressed: “Shajareh Tayebeh School in Minab has become more than an educational institution and now stands as a symbol of both the innocence of the Islamic Revolution and the exposure of Western deception”.
Drawing a parallel with the events of Ashura, Ayat. Marvi compared the young victims to Hazrat Ali Asghar, the youngest of Imam Hussein’s sons martyred in Karbala, saying: “Their sacrifice symbolizes the innocence and righteousness of the revolutionary path”.
“These children are the Ali Asghars of the Islamic Revolution,” he added. “Their pure blood confirmed the truth and innocence of this path.”
The Custodian of Astan Qods Razavi also argued that recent actions by the United States and Israel indicate the decline of the global arrogance front, claiming their leaders have reached a stage where they commit crimes in an attempt to preserve their power.
In another part of his speech, Ayat. Marvi recited verses 155–157 of Surah Al‑Baqarah, describing them as a divine message of consolation for grieving families. “Quranic verses promise blessings and mercy from God for those who show patience in times of hardship, emphasizing that believers ultimately belong to God and return to Him”.
Addressing the bereaved parents, he concluded: “Their children were a divine trust placed temporarily in their care and patience in the face of such trials brings spiritual reward”.
