- Flight 655 bombing: Iran UN Mission says US' culture of impunity continues
Iran's UN mission and deputy foreign minister accused the United States of fostering a 'culture of impunity' by failing to accept responsibility for the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655, which killed 290 civilians including 66 children. The mission criticized the U.S. for decorating the crew responsible and refusing to apologize, linking this to ongoing U.S. actions like the Minab missile strike that killed 168 schoolchildren.
