UN report: U.S. may have committed war crimes in Minab school, Lamerd strikes

According to a newly released report by a UN fact-finding mission, U.S. military airstrikes on a school in Minab and several locations in Lamerd have raised serious questions regarding compliance with international humanitarian law. UN investigators stated that the gathered evidence suggests these strikes may have been conducted without adhering to the principle of distinction between military and civilian targets. The report notes that the strike on the school in Minab resulted in significant civilian casualties. The UN mission has called on Washington to initiate an independent investigation into the matter. U.S. officials have yet to provide an official response to the report's findings. The report emphasizes that all military actions must be carried out in strict accordance with the Geneva Conventions to prevent damage to civilian infrastructure.
