UN Alleges US War Crimes in Iran, Iran Crimes Against Humanity Amidst Ongoing Conflict
A UN fact-finding mission has found reasonable grounds to suspect US forces committed war crimes in Iran, specifically in two February attacks on a school and sports facility, resulting in significant civilian casualties.
