Why Iran named its Islamabad talks mission ‘Minab-168’?
WION India ^ | Apr 11, 2026 | Kushal Deb

Posted on 04/13/2026 6:08:44 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

The Iranian delegation to the US-Iran high-stakes peace talks has adopted the name “Minab-168”. Iranian Speaker of the Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf explicitly identified the aircraft the mission as “Minab-168”. The front row of the aircraft was arranged with blood-soaked bags, the children's shoes, and their photograph with white roses. He posted a picture the caption, “My companions on this flight #Minab168.” The Iranian embassy in South Africa re-shared the picture with the caption, “We will never forget the children of Minab" It also posted an AI-generated video emphasising that association. Iranian officials and state media have used the name consistently to highlight the human cost of the conflict as they enter peace negotiations in Islamabad.

A more disgusting version of publicity seeking you usually just read in articles. Hope someone washed the seats well.

One freeper might post this article as news of how the enemy is operating on the propaganda front, another freeper might post it as propaganda that she wants to help spread to a wider audience, to help its effectiveness for the enemy.

The Iran regime murdered 35,000 + of their people who protested the regime earlier this year.

The former.

Also I don’t believe Trump is keen on collateral either and that his rhetoric belies his conscience, which informs his decision-making and tact. He is now focused on the strait and clarifying precise uranium enrichment-relevant goals. Some people are frustrated that he isn’t bulldozing the country outright and bombing the mainland harder.

“The Iran regime murdered 35,000 + of their people who protested the regime earlier this year.”

****************

And this same regime would encourage these kids to strap a bomb onto themselves and detonate it in some marketplace.

Exactly. They should also realize that when they export terrorism they are inviting retaliation that could hurt the innocent. That's on them.

As Franklin Graham informed Piers Morgan last week:

Iran has the fastest growing church in the world.

Iran has an official policy of placing IRGC in schools to maximize child casualties.

This article is just an example of their disgusting disregard for life.

Do they have an airplane with 35,000 seats? Perhaps Reza Pahlavi has one.

Has the government explained why Minab-168 was the ONLY school in Iran that was open - on the second day of bombing?

You don’t have any integrity or honesty, you keep posting me PMs expressing more detail of your views but you refuse to post them on any threads, yet it is you cherry picking articles from around the globe to post as threads on FR to push your agenda.

Schools are in session in Iran on Saturdays...

That one happened to be near militarily relevant targets...

We may never know the full scoop, but some say A.I. error. may have had something to do with it.
