As Iran's top negotiators arrived in Switzerland for critical talks with the United States, a striking message painted on their aircraft grabbed global attention: "MINAB 168." According to Iranian state media, the phrase serves as both the codename of the delegation and a tribute to the victims of the devastating Minab school strike that became one of the most controversial incidents of the 40-day U.S.-Iran war. The delegation, led by senior Iranian officials including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, arrived in Zurich for technical discussions aimed at implementing a 14-point agreement designed to end hostilities in the Middle East. But the appearance of "Minab 168" revived painful memories of the February 28 missile strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab, which reportedly killed at least 175 people, most of them children.
