The death toll from an alleged airstrike on a girls’ primary school in Iran’s Hormozgan Province has risen to 165, with rescue operations now concluded.
State news agency `Islamic Republic News Agency’ reports that the governor of the southern city of Minab, where the school was located, said search and rescue efforts had ended.
The government in Tehran has blamed the strike on the U.S. and Israel.
Israel denies the accusation saying “None of Israeli or American attacks there was known to us at that point in time.”
Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani on Sunday said that Israel had recently carried out a highly precise operation more than 1,000 miles away, referring to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
The United Nations children’s agency (UNICEF) expressed “deeply concern” about reports of bombings in Iran, including the strike on the girls’ school in Minab.
“Attacks on civilians and civilian objects, including schools, constitute a violation of international law,” UNICEF’s German office said in a statement issued in Cologne.
UNICEF called for an immediate end to hostilities, urguing all parties to comply with international humanitarian and human rights law, particularly with regard to protecting civilians and essential services for children.
