Iran seeks justice over deaths of 168 children in alleged US missile strike

The Embassy of Iran in Nigeria has called for justice and accountability following the deaths of 168 children in an alleged US missile strike on a school in Minab. The statement, issued 168 days after the reported start of the war, emphasized the need to establish responsibility for the attack and noted that the United States has not formally accepted responsibility despite evidence linking the attack to US forces.

The embassy stressed that the lives of children should be valued equally, regardless of their nationality, and called on the international community to uphold international humanitarian law and ensure proper investigations into attacks on civilians, especially children and schools.
