UN mission finds grounds to believe U.S. committed war crimes in strikes on Iranian school, sports centre
A United Nations fact-finding mission on Iran said on Thursday it had reasonable grounds to believe the United States was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, and that these constituted war crimes.
The UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran has accused the United States of committing war crimes in two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February. The report found that these strikes constituted war crimes due to the indiscriminate nature of the attacks and the risks taken by US forces in launching them.
Additionally, the mission concluded that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their violent crackdown on anti-government protests in late December. The findings will be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
