As schools in Italy close their doors for the summer break, a photographic exhibition in memory of the children who have been killed by Israel and the US in Iran since February 28 was held in the northern Italian city of Modena.

The commemorative event was organized by the cultural association 'Logos and Civilization' and the artistic collective 'Artverkaro '.

The photo exhibition featured a number of unseen images here in Italy, and was titled "The Last Day of School for Eternity: The Martyrdom of Innocence".

We picked The Martyrdom of Innocence as a title because the Epstein Coalition only knows how to terrorize countries, including children, when it comes to foreign relations. Terror, bombardments; this is what has been happening in Iran against a population who is not willing to bow their head to the US and to the Zionists.

These photos serve as an irrefutable testimony to the horrors of war, wars that affect children and the most vulnerable ones.

We organize this exhibition because more and more Italians want to understand what's happening in the Middle East.

The exhibition featured photos of some of the girls who were killed during the February 28 devastating US missile strike that hit Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, killing 185 people, including students and their teachers.

A father was asked difficult questions by his son about the children in the photos.

Our main goal as human beings should be to always protect children wherever they are. I have got four kids, looking at these photos hurts inside. It hurts a lot.

This exhibition focuses on a massacre of innocent children by the Americans. Those who have got kids, a father, cannot but get very emotional by watching these photos.

Italian Prime Minister, Giorgio Meloni, who has so far unconditionally supported the Israeli US policy in West Asia, expressed her firm condemnation of the massacre of girls at the school in Minab in the aftermath of the attack.

Schools must be places of safety and learning for children always. Instead, the Minab girls' school became a site of mass killing.

The US military could and should have known it was a school building.

As Iran's mission to the United Nations office in Geneva put it, "The loss of 168 students is not merely a statistic; it is 168 stolen futures, 168 silenced dreams, and an enduring wound carried by families, a community, a nation".
