UN Links US to Iran School Strike, Declares War Crime
TL;DR Summary
A UN fact-finding mission says there are reasonable grounds to believe US forces carried out two strikes in Iran—a school in Minab and a sports facility in Lamerd—killing civilians and constituting war crimes, while Iranian authorities allegedly committed crimes against humanity during a crackdown on protests; the US disputes the findings and says it acts in accordance with the law of armed conflict, and the report notes the death toll from protests is likely higher than official figures.
