Recent Accusations of U.S. War Crimes

Overview of Allegations

U.N.-backed experts have recently reported that the United States may have committed war crimes during two airstrikes in Iran. These incidents reportedly resulted in significant civilian casualties, including the deaths of children.

Specific Incidents

Incident. Civilian Casualties were reported in an airstrike on a school at Minab February 28, 2026. Approximately 170, mostly schoolgirls were reported killed. A missile strike on a sports complex at Lamerd, February 28, 2026, killing at least 21 people, including 4 children, and injuring 100 people.

Findings of the U.N. Mission

The airstrike on the school in Minab was characterized as an indiscriminate attack, with the U.N. experts stating that the school was clearly identifiable and not a military target.

The second strike in Lamerd involved the use of tungsten pellets, which also resulted in civilian deaths.

The U.S. Central Command has denied responsibility for the Lamerd strike, while the U.S. government has dismissed the U.N. findings as “unserious nonsense.”

These allegations contribute to ongoing discussions about accountability for military actions and the protection of civilians in conflict zones.
