Civilian Casualties in Conflict

Iranian airstrikes have killed hundreds of civilians, with Tehran’s reported death toll topping 1,000 and residents fleeing the capital, and Iranian state media and local health officials alleging about 175 people were killed in an airstrike on a girls’ elementary school. The Trump administration says it is investigating who was responsible for the school strike, implicitly reviewing possible U.S. involvement as questions grow about the war’s human cost.
