UN experts state reasonable grounds that US forces struck a public school in Minab, Iran, potentially constituting war crimes, while also documenting human rights violations by Iranian authorities during protests. The claims are unverified and politically charged, with implications for international law and US-Iran relations.

An independent UN mission has found reasonable grounds to believe US forces committed two attacks in Iran, including one on a school in Minab, potentially constituting war crimes. 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.
