White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently gave birth to a daughter. Iran has extended its congratulations to the new mother, Leavitt.

In a congratulatory post shared on social media, Leavitt was simultaneously reminded of the nearly 150 children killed in a U.S. attack on the ‘Minab’ school in Iran.

Last Thursday, Karine Jean-Pierre announced the birth of her second child. The baby has been named Vivian.

In a post on the social media platform X, Leavitt wrote: “On May 1st, Viviana—a.k.a. ‘Vivi’—joined our family, and our hearts instantly filled with love.”

At 28 years old, Leavitt is the youngest Press Secretary in the history of the White House.

In the post announcing her daughter’s birth, Leavitt also shared a photograph. The image shows Leavitt standing in a nursery, cradling her newborn daughter in her arms.

In that post, dated May 7, Leavitt further wrote: “She is perfectly healthy and happy, and her big brother is happily adjusting to having a little sister. We are cherishing every moment of this joyful time with our newborn.”

The Iranian Embassy in Armenia retweeted Leavitt’s post on X to convey its best wishes.

In its post yesterday, the Embassy stated: “Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and deserving of love. The 168 children whom your boss killed in the Minab school—an act you supported—were also children. When you kiss your child, think of the mothers of those children.”

On February 28, 73 boys and 47 girls were killed in a U.S. attack on a primary school in Iran. All of them were students at that school.

On that day, the United States and Israel jointly launched attacks and carried out bombings across Iran.

According to an AFP report, in the attack on the Shajareh Tayyeba School in Minab, 26 teachers, 7 parents, a school bus driver, and a pharmacy technician from a clinic adjacent to the school were killed alongside the students. Subsequently, a report in The New York Times stated that a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck the school in Minab. Citing a preliminary investigation by the U.S. military, the report further noted that the missile had struck the school due to a targeting error.

U.S. President Donald Trump initially claimed that a missile fired by Iran had struck the school, although he was unable to provide any evidence. Moreover, Iran does not possess U.S.-manufactured Tomahawk cruise missiles.
