NEW DELHI: Iranian state media on Sunday said the death toll from an alleged strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran has climbed to 165, with dozens more injured, even as Israel said it was not aware of any such attack and the United States said it was looking into the reports.
The state-run IRNA news agency quoted a local prosecutor as saying 96 people were wounded in the strike. Earlier, the Iranian Red Crescent had put the toll at 108, revising it up from an initial estimate of five provided by a provincial official.
