Over 170 Killed in Bombing of Iranian Elementary School; UN Launches Investigation... "Independent Results Will Be Produced"
The bombing of an Iranian elementary school, resulting in over 170 fatalities, has prompted a UN investigation amid allegations of possible war crimes by the US and Israel.
A devastating bombing of the Shazare Tayebe Elementary School in Minab, Iran, has claimed the lives of over 170 individuals, primarily children aged between 7 and 12. This incident occurred during the early stages of intensified airstrikes by the US and Israel targeting Iran. The school, which was previously associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), had functioned as a civilian educational institution for over a decade. Reports indicate that the missile attack may have been directed at IRGC naval facilities, but outdated location data possibly contributed to this tragic civilian casualty. The UN Human Rights Council has commenced an investigation into the bombing, with the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission stating they possess credible reports corroborating the Iranian government’s death toll claims, emphasizing that a thorough and independent inquiry is essential regardless of the conclusions reached.
