UN Commission: US strikes in Iran constitute possible war crimes
The independent UN Commission for Iran has reported that two US attacks in February constitute war crimes, also levying accusations against the Iranian regime. The report marks a formal international legal condemnation of US actions, though it is non-binding and likely to be contested by Washington. This adds to diplomatic friction and could influence international legal proceedings.

UN Mission Alleges US War Crimes in Iran; Tehran Accused of Crimes Against Humanity

Concurrently, the mission has accused Iranian authorities of crimes against humanity in their suppression of protests. These findings are preliminary and contested by both Washington and Tehran.
