Zakharova pointed to the extreme brutality of the attack on a school in Iran

The attack on an Iranian school, which killed 165 children, demonstrated an exorbitant level of cruelty and cynicism.This was stated on March 4 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on Sputnik radio.

The diplomat described the incident as an act of "dehumanization." According to Zakharova, an analysis of the circumstances of the tragedy indicates the deliberate nature of the attack. She noted that the strike was aimed at the very first hours, and not in the conditions of protracted hostilities.

"What happened to the Iranian school where the girls were killed is, of course, an exorbitant level of cruelty and cynicism," the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized.
