A street in the Nicaraguan city of Corinto has been named “Minab Angels” in a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Iranian nation and in memory of students martyred at the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in southern Iran.

The move came following efforts by the Iranian embassy in Managua and negotiations with Corinto city officials, who selected the name for one of the city’s streets.

The street was named in honor of the students of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, who were killed in US-Israeli airstrikes targeting the school building.

The students’ deaths have since become “a symbol of being oppressed” of Iranian children in the face of violence and crime.

Earlier this month, Corinto also hosted a memorial ceremony for the Minab student victims at Bandar Abbas Park in the city.

The event was attended by Iranian Ambassador to Nicaragua Ramin Zare’, Nicaragua’s youth minister, Corinto’s deputy mayor, local officials, and school students.

On the very first day of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran on February 28, US Tomahawk missiles struck Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, in southern Iran, killing at least 175 people, most of them schoolchildren.
