UN mission notes possible US war crimes in Iran strikes
A United Nations fact-finding mission said it found "reasonable grounds" to believe that the United States committed war crimes in two airstrikes in Iran.
The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, has concluded with "reasonable grounds" to suspect that the United States engaged in war crimes during its February strikes on Iran. This includes an attack on a school in Minab, southern Iran, which resulted in over 150 casualties, including 120 children.
The mission, led by Bangladeshi jurist Sara Hossain, also accused the Iranian government of committing crimes against humanity against its own population. The US military has declined to comment on the report, while a White House official dismissed the UN body as lacking serious commitment to human rights.
