GENEVA — United Nations-backed experts have concluded there is "reasonable grounds" to suspect the United States committed war crimes in two strikes within Iran, including one at a school in Minab, according to a report released on Thursday. The experts, comprising independent professionals, were commissioned by the U.N.'s Human Rights Council to conduct a fact-finding mission on the Iran conflict.
The report, though not legally binding, contributes to the growing body of international evidence of crimes committed during the war in Iran, potentially paving the way for justice in global courts. The panel, chaired by Sara Hossain, a jurist from Bangladesh, is set to deliver its findings to the Human Rights Council on Monday. The team alleges that the U.S. conducted "indiscriminate" attacks during the strikes.
