UN Experts Say US Strikes on Iran Civilians Could Be War Crimes

UN human rights experts say there are reasonable grounds to believe the US carried out two indiscriminate strikes in Iran—Minab’s primary school (156 dead, including 120 children) and a Lamerd sports complex (21 dead, including seven children)—killing at least 177 civilians and potentially constituting war crimes. The report also accuses Iranian authorities of crimes against humanity during a mass crackdown on protests. The US denies involvement in Lamerd and has not commented on Minab; Iran has not commented on the findings.
