Iran football fans display banner honouring children killed in US strike in Minab Iranian supporters displayed a banner in the stands commemorating 168 children killed in a strike on a primary school in the southern city of Minab during Iran's World Cup match against New Zealand. The banner referred to the killing of the children in a strike that Iranian authorities say took place at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Reports have previously linked the number "168" to a campaign by Iran's national team to honour the victims.
