At least 195 students and teachers have been killed in US-Israeli terrorist strikes across Iran, according to a senior official from the Ministry of Education.

Hossein Sadeghi, head of the Information and Public Relations Center of the Ministry of Education, said on Saturday that the victims lost their lives "in utmost innocence" during "blind and terrorist attacks" in different regions of the country.

Sadeghi told IRNA news agency that 68 schools and educational facilities suffered severe damage as a result of the attacks.

He further emphasized that if reconstruction of destroyed schools takes time for any reason, students from those schools will be accommodated in the nearest available educational institutions.

The deadliest incident happened at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab in Hormozgan Province last Saturday, where 168 people were killed-the vast majority of whom were schoolgirls between the ages of 7 and 12- and 110 others were injured.

In another attack in Lamerd in Fars Province, one teacher and five students were killed.
