China Donates $200,000 to Families of Iran School Strike Victims

China said on Friday it will donate $200,000 to the parents of students killed in what it called an "indiscriminate" missile strike on a school in Iran early in the Middle East war. 

Tehran has accused the United States and Israel of conducting the deadly missile attack on the school in Iran's south on the first day of the war. Iranian media reports said funerals were held for at least



165 people, including children, killed in the strike.

The toll has not been verified independently. A US military investigation into the strike is underway. Beijing's foreign ministry said the Chinese Red Cross Society will donate $200,000 in emergency humanitarian assistance to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, specifically for "condolences and compensations" to the parents of dead students.
