A US missile strike hit a sports hall in Iran and killed 24 people, a reported escalation that has sharpened concern Tehran could shut its airspace in response.

156 Civilians Killed: The 2026 Lamerd and Minab Strikes, U.S. Weapon Evidence, and the Crisis of Accountability

In Lamerd, civilian infrastructure like a gymnasium and a girls’ school were hit, causing heavy casualties. This escalation sparked international concern over civilian protection, accountability, and the future of humanitarian law amid conflicting narratives and ongoing investigations.
