Possible U.S. war crimes in Iran cited by U.N.-backed experts
Human rights experts commissioned by the U.N.'s top human rights body say they have found "reasonable grounds" to believe the United States committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran.
The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran has concluded that the United States committed war crimes by targeting a school in Minab, Iran, killing over 150 civilians, including a large number of children. The mission also found that the Iranian regime committed crimes against humanity through its crackdown on anti-government protests, resulting in at least 221 child fatalities and numerous other violations of human rights across the country.
The US had initially denied striking a school, but after multiple reports confirmed the school's identity, the Pentagon launched a probe, though no findings have been published.
