Elahi told NDTV that the school was hit twice on Feb. 28, leaving families without graves to mourn their missing children.
Families had gathered on Oct. 1 with notebooks and books, only to find the classrooms empty; the day that should have marked the start of a new academic year became a day of loss.
He slammed the United States for its failure to apologize, saying, "The United States has yet to admit its grave mistake in attacking our primary school."
UN investigators, dispatched to Minab, released a report confirming 125 child fatalities, a figure that sits slightly below Elahi’s own count but still underscores the tragedy.
"We call upon all free people, all human beings, to speak out against such tragedy and prevent it from ever happening again, whether in Iran or elsewhere," Elahi urged, appealing for a worldwide outcry to compel accountability.
A mother, Amira, still wanders the school grounds searching for her daughter's missing body, her grief a stark reminder that the wound is far from healed.
