Iran Accuses U.S. of Disinformation at UN Security Council
Iran's UN mission accused the U.S. of spreading lies about Iran's nuclear program during a Security Council session. The statement followed reports of a U.S. claim regarding a missile strike on a school in Iran.
Iran's UN mission accused the U.S. of spreading lies, false accusations, and disinformation against Iran and its nuclear program during a UN Security Council meeting. The mission also stated that the U.S. continues to violate international law through maritime blockades and support for actions by the Israeli regime across the region.
Foreign Ministry spokesman said a U.S. claim that an elementary school in Minab was located on an active cruise missile site is a baseless fabrication. The spokesman stated that the claim attempts to obscure the reality of missile attacks on February 28 that killed over 170 school children and teachers.
He added that targeting an educational institution during school hours violates international humanitarian law.
The head of the International Atomic

The agency will continue efforts to ensure nuclear safety and support diplomatic initiatives, the chief added.
Hezbollah said its fighters launched 26 attacks against Israeli forces inside Lebanese territory on Tuesday. Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh district killed nine people, including a woman, according to the National News Agency.
