Iran has mocked US President Donald Trump with a provocative poster after the first US-Israeli strikes on a girls' primary school in the city of Minab killed dozens of children.
The poster circulating on social media shows Trump with a sardonic smile, standing over the bodies of children killed in the attack on February 28, the same day as Ayatollah Khamenei was assassinated by the US and Israel.
According to Iranian officials, the strike killed around 175 people, mostly children. In the image, Trump is holding a Nobel Peace Prize medal and displaying it proudly while standing around the bodies of the girls.

The poster mocks Trump, who has for years said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he helped stop multiple conflicts. Venezuelan opposition leader MarÃa Corina Machado presented her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump at the White House earlier this year.
The US has denied deliberately targeting civilians in the school strike. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Trump said he had not seen any evidence proving that the school was hit by a US missile.
Responding to reports that a Tomahawk cruise missile was used in the attack, Trump said the weapon was used by several countries and suggested it may not have been fired by the US.
"I haven't seen it," Trump said when asked about the evidence. He added that the Tomahawk missile is used and sold to other countries as well, including Iran, and the incident is currently under investigation, Forbes reported.
"I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is sold and used by other countries. You know that. And whether it's Iran who also has some Tomahawks... Tomahawk is very generic," Trump said.
He further suggested that Iran may itself be responsible for the strike. "In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran," he said, adding, "We think it's done by Iran because they're very inaccurate, you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran."
An opinion piece in The Guardian said Trump appears to have shifted from his claimed peace mission to more aggressive military actions, such as operations linked to Venezuela and bombing Iran, suggesting he is now chasing a "Nobel prize for war."
The US-Israel strikes have so far killed nearly 1,500 people in Iran.
