Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf led a delegation to Islamabad early Saturday for talks with the United States.

Qalibaf posted a photo on social media showing himself in formal attire, facing the front row of the aircraft cabin, where seats held photographs and schoolbags belonging to four children killed in an air strike. "My flight companions" and "Minab 168," a caption accompanying the post read.

"Minab 168" refers to 168 children killed in a missile attack on an elementary school in Iran's southern city of Minab on February 28, in the opening of the US-Israeli airstrike on Iran.

Iranian media said the country's negotiating delegation has been named "Minab 168."
