China has pledged $200,000 in humanitarian assistance to Iran for the families of students killed in a missile strike on a school in Minab, Iran, at the onset of the Middle East war. Iran has accused the United States and Israel of conducting the attack, which reportedly killed at least 165 people, including children. A U.S. military investigation is underway, with reports from The New York Times Company suggesting a U.S. Tomahawk missile may have struck the school due to a targeting error.
