UN Launches Investigation into Deadly Strike on Girls' School in Iran

The UN is launching an investigation into the deadly strike on a primary school in Iran during the US-Israeli attack. According to Iranian officials, the attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school in the city of Minab resulted in the deaths of 168 children, mostly girls. US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces are responsible for the strike, but the investigation has not been completed. The UN investigation is in its early stages, but confirms the death toll reported by Iranian authorities. If US responsibility is confirmed, it would be one of the worst incidents of civilian deaths from a US military strike in the Middle East in decades.
