UN finds reasonable grounds for US war crimes in Iran strikes

A United Nations mission has found reasonable grounds to believe that the United States committed war crimes during airstrikes in Iran. These strikes, including one on a school that reportedly killed over 120 children, are alleged to have been indiscriminate attacks. The U.S. administration, including President Trump, has previously downplayed concerns about potential war crimes related to its actions in Iran, and CENTCOM has denied involvement in one of the strikes.
