A United Nations fact-finding mission has concluded there are reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed a war crime during a military strike in Iran. The operation resulted in the deaths of 155 people at a primary school in Minab and 22 individuals at a sports center in Lamerd. Investigators characterized the military's actions as indiscriminate and reckless due to the proximity of the school to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base.

The UN report also addressed internal Iranian affairs, noting that the state has committed gross human rights violations during its recent crackdown on domestic protests. The findings highlight a dual focus by the mission on both the conduct of international military operations and the Iranian government's treatment of its own citizens.
