Iran sends a congratulatory message to U.S. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt after the birth of her daughter, while also drawing attention to a past strike in Minab. According to reports citing statements from the Iranian Embassy, the message expresses congratulations to Leavitt but adds a reminder to consider the mothers of children killed in a Minab school attack. Multiple outlets report that the embassy referenced the deaths of 168 children in the Minab strike, linking the reference to broader criticism of U.S. actions.
One report notes that earlier, Leavitt had stated that the United States does not target civilians. In response, Iran’s embassy message uses the comparison to urge Leavitt to reflect on the impact of the Minab attack on the families of the victims. The reporting indicates that the embassy’s wording is framed around empathy toward mothers and the children who died, juxtaposed with the personal milestone of Leavitt’s newborn. The accounts do not present new details beyond the embassy’s stated message and the figures it highlights from the Minab incident.
