TEHRAN, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Up to 160 people could have been killed in the deadly Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on a girls' school in southern Iran, local media reported Saturday, citing Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday condemned the airstrikes in a statement, calling the strikes "inhumane," his office said.

Pezeshkian also urged all relief and medical centers and relevant officials in the region to prioritize the "immediate and uninterrupted care" of the injured and their families by mobilizing all resources.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency reported earlier that the death toll from the airstrikes reached 85.
