UN Mission Alleges US War Crimes in Iran, Iran Crimes Against Humanity
A UN fact-finding mission has found reasonable grounds to suspect the US committed war crimes in Iran, specifically citing attacks on a school and sports facility in February that resulted in significant civilian casualties. Concurrently, the mission also concluded that Iran's violent suppression of protests constitutes crimes against humanity. The findings are preliminary but represent a significant escalation in international legal pressure on both nations.
