Iran official accuses US of double standards over helicopter crash and school attack
An Iranian official accused the US of double standards, contrasting the quick US blame for a downed army helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz with the delayed investigation into the Minab school attack, which killed over 165 children and teachers. Iran attributes the school attack to the US and Israel, while a US military commander cited complexity in the investigation due to the site's alleged status as an active Iranian missile base, which Iran denies.
