- UN fact-finding mission on Iran announced Thursday it had reasonable grounds to believe the U.S. was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February
- The mission determined those two strikes constituted war crimes, according to the report
Why it matters: The mission's determination directly attributes the February strikes to the U.S. military and classifies them as war crimes, creating a formal UN record. Independent experts' characterization challenges any U.S. denial and gives the finding weight in international legal and diplomatic forums where the U.S. and Iran are already in sharp confrontation.
