  "account": "Six months after a devastating strike on an Iranian school, parents remain haunted by grief. Masoumeh Zakeri, whose nine-year-old daughter was killed, has been unable to process the loss. Her daughter, Motahreh, had a normal day with her mother before the attack. Zakeri, 44, never saw her daughter again. She was among at least 155 people killed in the strike, most of them children. The school, now largely in ruins, has been preserved as a memorial. The cause of the attack remains unclear, with Iran stating that two US Tomahawk missiles were used, while the US and Israel have not claimed responsibility. Rights groups, including Amnesty International, blame the US, and The New York Times reports that a US Tomahawk cruise missile was responsible. The strike halted the intense bombardments that followed an April ceasefire, but diplomatic efforts to end the war have stalled. Parents like Yaghoub Yazdanpanah and Javad Shahrjou continue to visit their children's graves, struggling to move forward. Grief has left them unable to imagine the future or plan anything.",
