After the bombing of a girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, on February 28th, which resulted in more than 150 deaths, the UN calls for “justice” and urges Washington to investigate “quickly.”
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights criticized the “deep horror” of the deadly bombing of an Iranian school on February 28th, urging Washington to quickly conclude its investigation and “deliver justice.”
Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council, Volker Türk declared that “the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab has caused deep horror,” emphasizing the need for the attackers to investigate quickly, impartially, transparently, and thoroughly.
“The images of bombed classrooms and grieving parents clearly show who pays the highest price of war: civilians, who have no say in the decisions that led to the conflict,” he added.
In an annual session in Geneva on Friday, March 27th, the Council held an emergency meeting on the safety of children in the Middle East conflict, following the deadly bombing of the Minab school in the south of the country, which Tehran claims resulted in over 165 deaths.
The Iranian government accuses the US military of striking the establishment. Initially denying any involvement, US President Donald Trump later suggested he would “deal” with the outcome of the investigation opened by the Pentagon.
According to The New York Times, citing US officials and sources close to the investigation, the missile that hit the school was indeed fired by the US military after a targeting error.
“Senior US officials have stated that the strike is being investigated. I call for this process to be completed as soon as possible, and for its findings to be made public. Justice must be served for the terrible harm caused,” urged Volker Türk.
For Tehran, this deadly bombing was not a targeting error but a “calculated” attack by the United States, as stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi in Geneva on Friday.
