US strike on Minab school, anti-govt protest crackdown: UN mission flags war crimes in Iran
The UN-backed mission stated it had "reasonable ground to believe" that US committed a war crime when it struck a school in Minab.
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.
