‘Angels of Minab’: Exhibition Highlights Children’s Art in Delhi

An exhibition called ‘Angels of Minab’ is currently taking place at the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi. It features drawings created by children from a girls’ elementary school in Minab, which was destroyed during a US-Israeli military strike on February 28, 2026. This tragic attack killed over 165 children and staff members. The school was hit by a US Tomahawk missile, and US assessments later called it a targeting error. The exhibition aims to highlight the devastating human cost of the conflict, showcasing the children's artwork as symbols of a lost world filled with innocence. What's powerful is that the embassy's post on social media emphasizes the importance of these recovered drawings. They represent a bright and trustworthy world, contrasting starkly with the violence surrounding them. In a symbolic act, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf recently honored the victims during a flight to Islamabad by placing their photographs and belongings in empty seats. This exhibition and its messaging remind us that children should never be victims of war, and it calls for a reflection on the impact of conflict on innocent lives.
