Woman Killed in Pune After Temporary Dahi Handi Structure Collapses During Dismantling

GLOBAL POLITICS DESK (as of September 4, 2026): VP Vance's response to the Sept. 2 Sirik wedding strike ("extremely skeptical," "sometimes, things happen") reopened the accountability debate first raised by the Feb. 28 Minab school strike — 156 dead incl. 120 children, DoD's own review traces it to outdated DIA coordinates that mistagged the school as a factory/arms depot; findings still undisclosed 4+ months on despite UN expert criticism. Sirik: 4 named dead incl. a 4-year-old, injuries reported 50-60+ depending on outlet, Iranian Red Crescent has written directly to the ICC Prosecutor; unlike Minab, no independent forensic confirmation yet (2 days old vs. a 6-month record). Legal core most coverage misses: neither the US nor Iran is a Rome Statute party, but Article 12(3) lets a non-party unlock ICC jurisdiction anyway via an ad hoc declaration — the exact mechanism Palestine (2014) and Ukraine (twice) used; DAWN is publicly pushing Iran to file one retroactive to Feb. 28. Iran hasn't filed it as of this writing. Forward watch: whether Iran files the 12(3) declaration, whether DoD releases the Minab findings, whether independent forensics on Sirik converge with Iran's account the way they did for Minab.
