UN mission says grounds to believe US committed war crimes in Iran
A UN fact-finding mission on Iran said on Thursday it had reasonable grounds to believe the United States was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, and that these constituted war crimes. It also found that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their deadly crackdown on anti-government protests. France 24’s Kethevane Gorjestani takes a closer look at the report’s findings.
