In the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, a missile strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran on February 28 resulted in the deaths of over 170 people, mostly schoolgirls. Both the US and Israel have denied responsibility for the attack, despite mounting evidence. Iran has blamed both nations for the strike, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemning the “blatant crime” and urging action from the United Nations Security Council. Footage from the scene suggests the school was likely hit by a US Tomahawk missile due to a targeting error. US President Donald Trump initially suggested Iran may have been responsible, but The New York Times reported that the strike was likely carried out by the US.
