What happened, for context

UN human rights experts released a report finding reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in two February 2026 airstrikes in Iran—one on a primary school in Minab and another on a sports complex in Lamerd—that killed at least 177–178 civilians. The strikes were characterized as indiscriminate attacks. The US has denied one strike and said it was investigating the other; the Trump administration has not yet accepted blame.
