UN experts say grounds to believe US committed war crimes in Iran strikes

David Gritten September 17, 2026

UN human rights experts say there are reasonable grounds to believe the US committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran that killed at least 177 civilians.

A new report by the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said February's missile strikes on a primary school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd constituted indiscriminate attacks causing civilian deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure.

There was no immediate comment from the US. It has previously denied striking Lamerd and said it is investigating what happened in Minab.

The experts also found Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during a crackdown on mass anti-government protests in January.

They said killings by security forces occurred on "a staggering and unprecedented scale" across all 31 provinces.

Iran has also not yet commented on the findings, but it has previously rejected allegations of systematic violations of human rights.

"Civilians in Iran are caught between gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by their own government and the nation's deadly conflict with the United States and Israel," the fact-finding mission warned in a statement on Thursday.

For their latest report to the UN Human Rights Council, the mission's three independent experts investigated two of the deadliest attacks on civilians during the conflict.

On 28 February, when the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, Tomahawk missiles struck Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in the southern town of Minab, killing at least 156 people, including 120 children, according to local authorities.

The fact-finding mission's experts said the school was adjacent to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval complex also attacked that day, but that the school was clearly identifiable and that no information indicated that it was used for military purposes.

The experts said that, based on the evidence gathered - including media reports indicating that a preliminary US military inquiry found US forces responsible, and the fact that the US is the only party to the conflict that possesses Tomahawk missiles - they had reasonable grounds to believe that the strike on the school was carried out by the US.

They also concluded that the school was "the intended point of impact and that the damage did not result from an errant strike or collateral damage" from the attack on the IRGC complex, citing survivors as saying the school was struck twice.

The US military has yet to release the findings of its investigation into the Minab strike, but Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said it would "never target civilian targets".

Also on 28 February, Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) dispersed clouds of tungsten pellets over a sports complex and residential area in the town of Lamerd, killing at least 21 civilians, including seven children, according to local authorities.

Again, the fact-finding mission's experts said the sports complex was clearly identifiable and that no information indicated it was used for military purposes.

"Well regulated" at the time the Constitution was written referred to well functioning

I don't have to imply, what bugs certain parties the most is there is no central command

I wouldn't say "unknown" as Media has done hit pieces before, sadly for them Streisand Effect is a real thing too

Paramount's California future in doubt amid escalating legal fight

Paramount is reportedly eyeing Nashville as California fights its merger

California officials responded Wednesday to reports that Paramount is preparing to ditch the state, though the company declined to comment, and no official announcement has been made.

Officials inside Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ office and California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office were told Paramount planned to announce Tuesday that it was leaving the state, sources told TMZ.

The announcement never came, and the outlet said it was unclear whether the company changed course or merely delayed the decision. Separately, Politico is reporting that Paramount is actively looking for office space in Nashville.

Paramount declined to comment when reached by FOX Business.

Bonta's office told FOX Business it could not comment on Paramount's plans but acknowledged that the company has repeatedly threatened to leave California.

"It's no secret that Paramount has been making this threat despite its alleged commitment to California and Hollywood," Bonta's office said in a statement. "What Paramount decides to do is Paramount's choice alone."

The attorney general's office said it will continue enforcing the law while remaining open to good-faith negotiations.

Bass' office told FOX Business the mayor remains focused on keeping entertainment jobs in the city.

"Mayor Bass is focused on protecting and fighting for jobs in LA, including critical jobs in the entertainment industry that have been a vital part of Los Angeles’ economy," her office said in a statement. "She’s been engaged on this issue and will continue to fight to make sure LA is home to Hollywood."

The uncertainty comes as Paramount CEO David Ellison battles Bonta and 11 other state attorneys general over the company’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The states sued in July to block the media megadeal, arguing it would reduce competition and give the combined company excessive market power in film distribution and basic cable programming.

Ellison has reportedly threatened to move Paramount to Texas, Tennessee or Georgia if the legal battle is not resolved by Oct. 1. Settlement talks are ongoing. The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in March if a settlement is not reached.

I'd like to know in what manner Mayor Bass is "fighting" to keep the jobs in LA. We talking cry-bullying with some threat of an exit tax?
