Iran accuses US of war crime in Strait of Hormuz; children among dead

Iran alleges US forces committed a war crime in an attack that killed civilians, including children and teenagers, while US military claims it never deliberately targets civilians and notes increased effectiveness in escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. The incident is unverified and details are sparse, but it marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric between Iran and the US over the strategic waterway. The claim, if substantiated, could heighten regional tensions and impact oil shipping security.
