Iranian children make up 15% of civilians killed since US, Israel launched war, rights monitor says

On Feb. 28, the first day of the war in Iran, at least 175 people — most of them children — were killed when a US missile struck a girls’ school in Minab. Since then, the civilian death toll has steadily risen, turning even some of the regime’s most ardent critics against the conflict, according to Skylar Thompson, deputy director of Human Rights Activists in Iran.
