UN mission: US strike that hit Iran school was ‘indiscriminate,’ likely a war crime

A UN fact-finding mission has reported that a US military strike on a school in Iran, located adjacent to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base, was reckless and likely constitutes a war crime. The report asserts that the strike was carried out without sufficient regard for the distinction between military and civilian targets. In a separate section, the UN mission accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of committing gross human rights violations during its crackdown on protests. The international body, having reviewed available evidence, strongly criticized the conduct of Iranian security forces in their response to demonstrators. The UN report emphasizes the necessity for both parties to be held accountable for actions that violate international law.
