UN human rights experts say there are reasonable grounds to believe the US committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran that killed at least 177 civilians.
A new report by the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, said February’s missile strikes on a primary school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd constituted indiscriminate attacks causing civilian deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure.
There was no immediate comment from the US. It has previously denied striking Lamerd and said it is investigating what happened in Minab.
The experts also found Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during a crackdown on mass anti-government protests in January.
Iran has also not yet commented on the findings, but it has previously rejected allegations of systematic violations of human rights.
