UN human rights chief calls on US to conclude probe into Iran school strike
AI Summary
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk is urging the US to promptly conclude and publish its investigation into a deadly strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, southern Iran, which occurred on the first day of the war last month. The attack, reportedly consisting of two missile strikes, killed at least 168 people, including approximately 110 children. US media reports suggest American military investigators believe US forces were likely unintentionally responsible. Türk emphasized the need for justice and a transparent investigation, while Iran's Foreign Minister accused the US of a deliberate attack. A letter from Senate Democrats questions the US role, potential target analysis errors, and compliance with war crime prevention rules. The Pentagon stated it would respond directly to the senators.
