The United Nations has begun investigating a deadly strike on a primary school in Iran. The attack happened on the first day of US and Israeli military actions in the region. A UN official confirmed the inquiry during a press briefing in Geneva.

The strike targeted Shajareh Tayyebeh School and involved two missiles fired in quick succession. Iranian authorities report that 168 children were killed, most of them girls. The attack shocked local communities and drew international attention.

US military investigators have indicated that American forces may have been responsible. However, they have not yet reached a final conclusion, and the investigation is still ongoing. The Pentagon has now elevated the probe to a higher level.

Max du Plessis, a UN fact-finding mission member, said the investigation is still at an early stage. He confirmed that reports from Iran about the number of casualties appear credible. The UN is committed to determining the facts independently.

Du Plessis emphasized the importance of an impartial investigation. He said that, given the loss of innocent lives, it is crucial that the findings are independent and transparent. The international community is watching closely.

If US responsibility is confirmed, this strike would be one of the deadliest incidents involving civilians in decades of military actions in the Middle East. The investigation aims to ensure accountability and prevent future tragedies.
