The world should never forget the 165 innocent schoolgirls whose lives were extinguished in a brutal American attack on an elementary school in southern Iran. Nothing can justify such an unjustifiable atrocity—a war crime for which the perpetrators must be held strictly accountable.

See how a narrative of disinformation is constructed: As one might expect, it begins with Fox News fabricating an absurdity like: 'Kamikaze dolphins. The Persians want to strap mines to dolphins to weaponize the strait. These rogues are desperate.' It finds its way to Kaitlan Collins' show on CNN, where her guest amplifies it; the hawkish New York Post picks it up, and it goes viral, reaching JIJI Press in Japan. This is effectively more than just disinformation; it is sheer insanity, showing how desperate the Americans are to twist their own failures by resorting to such a nonsense invention with the help of rogues at Fox News.

Utmost criminal threat of nuking a nation. Resonates with previous abhorrent threats of annihilating a civilization or taking them back to the 'Stone Age.' He keeps failing to get two points: Iran cannot be forced to "sign the agreement fast", hence any reckless escalation with that aim in mind only faces Iran's decisive response. And what cannot be gained on the battlefield will never be won at the table.

Rest assured, there is no 'study' underway; otherwise, given the concrete evidence, the administration would have to hold itself accountable—and that will never happen. How could an administration that sanctioned 11 ICC judges and prosecutors over war crimes investigations into Israeli and U.S. officials, comfortably attacked an impartial judicial institution in an affront against the rules-based international order, and, above all, innocent victims—ever be expected to hold itself accountable?

This is how Secretary Rubio defines the Strait of Hormuz: "This is an international waterway and international law is very clear... international water is no country can control them." His argument in the context of the Strait of Hormuz suffers from significant legal deficiencies: First, there is no "high seas" corridor in the Strait of Hormuz. Second, the fundamental principle of free and safe passage stipulates that neither "transit" nor "innocent" passage should be prejudicial to the peace, good order, or security of the coastal state. This was the baseline until February 27. Since February 28, when an actual war of aggression was launched against Iran, a fundamental change in the legal landscape occurred. Under international law, passage loses its "innocent" or "transit" status once it involves the transport of weaponry intended for military operations, threats of force, or intelligence gathering against the security of the coastal state. Similarly, a state utilizing a strait to launch an offensive against a coastal state effectively designates that area as a theater of war. Consequently, this situation invokes Article 51 of the U.N. Charter on the right of self-defense, in accordance with a "peremptory norm" that supersedes standard navigation rules. It also invokes the doctrine of rebus sic stantibus (a fundamental change of circumstances), which justifies a legal recalibration of the principles of free and safe passage, balanced against the legitimate security concerns of the coastal state. Third, conversely, Secretary Rubio’s statement effectively defines the illegality of the U.S. blockade, as it is exercised specifically in: a) international waters; and b) areas that are not under U.S. control, to be subjected to its extraterritorial sanctions.

Dear people of Tokyo, as Iranian citizens, including women and children, are enduring under the brutal bombardment of the American and Israeli aggressors, your expression of sympathy for them is deeply heartening. This is not a war on Iran; this is a war against Iran, and the brave Iranian people are defending themselves. Your solidarity is a sign of the high spirit of humanity. The people of Iran thank you in these difficult times and will never forget your kindness. The true international community must fulfill its responsibility to completely stop this illegal military aggression.

The Embassy has the pleasure of publishing this inspiring music performed in Hiroshima by Mohsen Sharifian, with his consent. Here is what he wrote on Instagram under the clip: "'Blue Dream', a work by me and my dear friend Behnam Shahraki, featuring Sadegh Hosseinpour, the percussionist. On my third trip to Japan, once again on the anniversary of the U.S. atomic attack on Hiroshima, I stood before a monument that serves as a reminder of one of the bitterest moments in human history. But this time, I entrusted the sound of southern Iranian music, laden with the grief of the missile attack on a school in Minab, to this dusty historical silence. This is the echo of peace from the Persian Gulf to Hiroshima with a 'Blue Dream', that the world may never hear the sound of war again."

Perhaps the most heart-wrenching moment of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony occurs each year at exactly 8:15 AM, when on August 6, 1945 the entire city was frozen in a flash of destruction by an American atomic bomb and time stood still. Each year, the peace bell is rung at this precise moment by the children of Hiroshima, ensuring that future generations never lose sight of this horrific tragedy. Today, at this moment, I joined those in mourning to honor the fallen, offering my prayers for the eternal peace of their souls. Hiroshima remains a permanent testament to the necessity for a world free of weapons of mass destruction. Having endured the horrific use of chemical weapons in the 1980s by the Western-backed Iraqi dictator of that time, Iran remains a committed partner in this vital global endeavor. Amb.

At a time when the Iranian nation is mourning its martyred Leader, it is deeply regrettable that Nikkei has chosen to reduce this historic outpouring of national grief to a twisted political narrative of so-called "societal disparity" and "international isolation," and to conclude that "maintaining the regime will be more difficult than ever." Against this stark betrayal of reality, let us ask: when the American and Israeli regimes unleashed their indiscriminate bombardment during the wars of 2025 and 2026 against Iran, claiming 5,000 lives and maiming 40,000 others, did their missiles pause to check for "societal disparities"? In fact, what occurred mid-war and during the funeral of the martyred Leader in the streets has been a historic national unity that transcended the so-called "disparities" upon which the article bases its flawed assessment. The Iranian nation is now precisely responding to these flawed assessments that created miscalculations against it during the two consequential wars, which ultimately shambled the global economy. As for the claim of "international isolation": in a world where human values and international law are easily sacrificed at the feet of those who conveniently commit coercion, lawlessness, and war crimes as their source of credibility, one can only expect the perpetrators to crown themselves as the "majority" and slam their victims as "isolated." The article, therefore, is a failure of both empathy and analysis.

Today, a group of Iranian residents and Japanese citizens honored us by gathering in front of the Embassy to commemorate the students of Minab Elementary School who were martyred by two American Tomahawk missiles. They presented flowers and prayed for the peace of the souls of the martyred children, shared tributes in both Persian and Japanese in mourning for the innocent victims, and wrote messages of support for the Iranian people—especially women and children—protesting the attacks by the US and Israeli regimes on Iran. We thank you for being a sincere voice for humanity and peace.

Last evening, Tehran time, celebrated Japanese actress Ayako Kobayashi, best known to Iranian audiences for her role in the NHK drama series "Oshin" (おしん), appeared on the popular Iranian TV talk show "1001." "Oshin" began airing on Iranian Channel 2 in November 1987. The talk show was an opportunity to celebrate the cultural connections between Japan and Iran. It particularly culminated in a moving reunion between Kobayashi and Maryam Shirzad, the Iranian voice actress who dubbed "Oshin." Shirzad explained that she imbued her performance with deep emotion, inspired by Oshin's innocent portrayal. The episode drew a large Iranian viewership. The Embassy had the pleasure of assisting in coordinating this remarkable event.

Among the children massacred at Shajare Tayyiba Elementary School in Minab, southern Iran, was Makan Nasiri. The American Tomahawk missiles left nothing of his small, fragile body; his parents are left to wait for a son who will never return, with only a wrinkled blue sweater and a pair of cream-colored sneakers to hold. A devastating testament to the reality of a war of aggression—a reality known only to those who must bear its cost.

According to videos posted on social media, this group of patriotic and dignified Iranians gathered in Tokyo today to decently and peacefully protest the military aggression of the U.S. and the Israeli regime, the Japanese participants and the media covering the event were all subjected to verbal violence, hate speech, and constant insults from a group holding the flags of the aggressors. This level of moral collapse is deeply regrettable.

Remember the Truth Social post by Trump on March 12, 2026: "The US is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money." He is effectively trying to do two things: to force Iran into submission while simultaneously coercing the global market to rely on American oil and gas at inflated prices, for which he constrains the Strait of Hormuz. Iran shall not bend, of course. But he has no clue about the dynamics of the world energy markets. So, this shall backfire, but at the cost of others—in particular, the Asian markets.

The Iranian nation and its infrastructure are currently enduring heavy, brutal bombardments by the American and Israeli regimes. Before the world prioritizes energy or economic stability, it must confront the irreplaceable loss of innocent human lives. The noble Iranian nation does not beg anyone for help and remains steadfast and strong in its resolute defense. But one must ask: where is the global conscience? When will it act to stop these brutal killings and the chilling promise of "overwhelming violence" against those who are told they "deserve no mercy"—in the fanatical words of the US Secretary of War—and the President of War’s pledge to obliterate their infrastructure? Look carefully: these injured parents meet their two children lost to bombs from the American and Israeli regimes.

A defining feature of the 79 days since the start of the war of aggression by the American and Israeli regimes againat Iran has been the nightly assemblies of the Iranian people in the squares of Tehran and across the country. Waving national flags, the people display a profound civilizational solidarity; as the hollow threats from Trump and his cohorts intensify, the turnout at these gatherings only grows. While Western media outlets conduct amplified propaganda campaigns to dismiss these events as 'pro-regime rallies' in an attempt to obscure the reality on the ground, these are the same people who stood firm in defense of their homeland—even as bombs and missiles fell. They continue to stand resiliently to neutralize the aggressors' conspiracies. No disinformation campaign can diminish the grandeur of this national resolve.

It is both shameless and criminal for a U.S. Senator to implicitly threaten Iran with atomic bombs, citing Truman's decision to attack Hiroshima and Nagasaki as precedent. This readiness to consider such unthinkable options stems from a world that allows such rhetoric and only takes notice when the consequences come back to haunt them. They only spring into action after criminal warmongers have already taken a heavy toll on the innocent people.
