UN mission finds grounds to believe US committed war crimes in Iran, and Tehran crimes against humanity
- On September 17, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran reported reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in two military strikes, while also finding Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their crackdown on protests.
- Investigators concluded the United States relied on unverified intelligence suggesting a military commander was present before striking the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab, killing more than 150 people including around 120 schoolchildren.
- Iranian authorities carried out systematic attacks against civilians during late 2025 protests, involving unlawful killings, torture, and arbitrary detention. Experts believe the actual death toll exceeds official figures of 3,038 killed and 25,000 injured.
- In June, President Donald Trump claimed "nobody" purposefully attacked the school, while Tehran blamed "terrorists and rioters" for the unrest. Both nations' permanent missions in Geneva did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- The report, to be submitted to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, examines the United States' conduct during the war beginning in February and the Iranian government's suppression of nationwide unrest.
