UN experts have said there are grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in connection with deadly strikes in Iran earlier this year.
The strikes took place in February and hit two locations identified in the supplied material as a primary school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd. Both incidents were described as deadly, although no further casualty figures or details of the damage were provided.
The experts’ assessment concerns whether the attacks may have breached the laws of war. Their view, as reported in the source material, is that there is a basis to believe war crimes were committed in the strikes.
The United States has not acknowledged carrying out the attacks on the school and sports complex. No additional response from US officials was included in the supplied material.
The latest known position is that UN experts have raised the possibility of US responsibility for war crimes, while the US has not accepted that it conducted the February strikes.
