Iran has requested an urgent debate at the UN Human Rights Council on the fatal air strike on a primary school on the first day of the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, a letter shows, according to Reuters.
“A strike on a functioning school during class hours represents a grave assault on children, on education, and on the future of the entire community,” Iran’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, said in a letter to the council president dated March 23.
The attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School consisted of two missile strikes in quick succession that killed 168 children, mostly girls, Iranian officials say.
