UN Report Finds US Strikes in Iran May Constitute War Crimes, Cites Iranian Crackdown
A UN fact-finding mission found reasonable grounds to believe the US military conducted two strikes on civilian sites in Iran in February, including an attack on Minab's Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School that killed over 150 people, mostly children, constituting war crimes. The mission also concluded Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during a crackdown on anti-government protests starting in December. The US reportedly relied on unverified intelligence about a military target, while Iran denies systematic rights violations. Both governments have yet to comment on the report.
