UN Calls for Investigation into Deadly Iran School Attack

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the attack on a girls' school in Iran, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of students, and called for an immediate, impartial and thorough investigation to determine responsibility. The High Commissioner called on the forces behind the attack to publish the results of the investigation. The US, through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stated that they did not intentionally target schools, responding to reports from Iranian media of more than 160 deaths.
