UN experts: US airstrikes in Iran may constitute war crimes

A UN Human Rights Council expert group found reasonable cause to believe US airstrikes on Minab and Lamerd, which killed at least 178 civilians on the first day of the war, constitute war crimes. The report also accuses Iranian authorities of crimes against humanity for violently suppressing pre-war protests. This is a formal UN finding that could escalate diplomatic and legal pressure on the US, though it is non-binding and likely to be contested.

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 concluded that Iran's violent suppression of protests since January constitutes crimes against humanity. The findings are preliminary but represent a significant legal escalation against both parties.
