Three-day-old infant among four martyred in US-Israeli strike in central Iran village

Three-day-old Mojtaba from a village in central Iran is the youngest martyr of the Israeli-American war on Iran.


In a horrific pre-dawn attack on Monday, a three-day-old infant was martyred along with his two-year-old sister, mother, and grandmother when the US-Israeli terror coalition targeted their home in the village of Amrabad, near Arak, in central Iran.

According to initial reports, the missile strike targeted a civilian residence in what local officials described as a "brutal and savage" act of aggression.

The four victims, spanning three generations of the same family, were killed instantly when the missile struck their home as they slept.

Local sources confirmed to Press TV that the infant, Mojtaba, was just three days old at the time of his martyrdom, making him the youngest martyr of this war.

The strike is part of the ongoing US-Israeli military aggression against Iran, which began on February 28 with the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and some top-ranking military commanders.

In retaliation, Iranian armed forces have carried out 56 waves of missile and drone strikes at Israeli military installations and US military bases across the West Asia region.

The attack on Amrabad village and the murder of civilians, including children, has drawn widespread condemnation, with officials highlighting the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, including residential areas.

According to Iran’s health ministry, children have borne the brunt of Israeli-American aggression against the Islamic Republic, which entered its 17th day on Monday.
