UN tells US to swiftly finish probe into ‘visceral’ Iran school bombing
AI Summary
The UN Human Rights Chief urged the US to swiftly conclude its investigation into the February 28 bombing of an Iranian junior school in Minab, which occurred on the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. The bombing, which reportedly killed 168 pupils, teachers, staff, and their relatives, was described as evoking "visceral horror." The UN called for justice for the victims and emphasized that differences between countries should not result in the killing of schoolchildren. Preliminary findings from a US military investigation, reported by The New York Times, suggest a US Tomahawk cruise missile hit the school due to a targeting mistake. Iran's Foreign Minister, however, characterized the bombing as a "calculated" assault by the US.
