UN mission says evidence points to US war crimes in Iran and Tehran crimes against humanity

A United Nations fact‑finding mission says there is enough evidence to believe the United States may have committed war crimes during actions in Iran and that authorities in Tehran may have carried out crimes against humanity. The mission said the findings meet the legal threshold to start formal investigations. It added that the evidence will be handed to the UN Human Rights Council for further review. The statement calls for accountability and urges cooperation from all parties involved. This marks the first time the UN has publicly raised such allegations against both the US and Tehran in the same report.
