UN-backed experts cite possible US war crimes in Iran strikes
GENEVA (AP) — United Nations experts have reportedly found "reasonable grounds" to suspect the United States of war crimes during recent strikes in Iran, including a school attack in the southern city of Minab. The international fact-finding mission on Iran indicates at least 178 civilians, comprising women and children, perished in the airstrikes.
The experts also highlighted a "staggering scale" of killings by Iran's state security forces. The team's report notes that innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire due to "gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity" perpetrated by their own government and the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel.
