Iranian news channels, citing Al Jazeera, report that demonstrations have broken out in South Korea protesting the deaths of Iranian children amid the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign.
Iranian news channels are highlighting international demonstrations in response to the ongoing military strikes in Iran. On March 13, 2026, prominent outlets circulated reports of protests taking place in South Korea, specifically focusing on the civilian toll of the conflict.
Khabar Fori, a popular Iranian news aggregator that frequently reflects state-aligned perspectives, cited the Qatari network Al Jazeera to report on "protests in South Korea in protest against the killing of Iranian children".The similarly aligned Iranian outlet Akharin Khabar echoed this framing, publishing the identical claim regarding "protests in South Korea in protest against the killing of Iranian children", though it did not explicitly credit Al Jazeera in its brief.
These reports of international demonstrations emerge against the backdrop of an unprecedented wave of United States and Israeli airstrikes across Iran. While the US and Israel have announced the widespread destruction of Iranian military infrastructure, air defenses, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities, Iranian media is prominently highlighting the humanitarian impact of the bombardments, focusing on child casualties.
Both Iranian sources utilize the exact same Farsi phrasing regarding the 'killing of Iranian children' (کشتار کودکان ایرانی). Khabar Fori attributes the report to Al Jazeera, though no direct link or footage from Al Jazeera is provided in the source text. The messaging demonstrates a clear editorial focus on the civilian and humanitarian cost of the US-Israeli strikes.
