Iran summons German ambassador over Merz criticism of Tehran
Iran summons Germany’s ambassador after Chancellor Merz demands Tehran end the Hormuz blockade, regional support for armed groups and nuclear program.
A UN fact-finding mission has found evidence that the United States was behind two military strikes in Iran, according to a report to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council. The strikes, which occurred in February, hit a school and a sports facility, resulting in the deaths of over 150 and 22 people, respectively, as per CNBC World.
The mission has reasonable grounds to believe that these strikes constitute war crimes. According to the Daily Maverick, the report also found that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their crackdown on anti-government protests that began in late December.
The US has rejected the report's findings. The Pentagon declined to comment, stating that its investigation is ongoing, while a White House spokeswoman claimed that the UN Human Rights Council has accomplished nothing for human rights and that only Iran has committed war crimes in the conflict.
