United Nations says US may have committed war crimes in Iran: What it means

By
Heba Habib
A United Nations-mandated fact-finding mission has concluded that the United States may have committed war crimes when it carried out two strikes on Iran in February – one on a primary school in Minab and another on a sports complex in Lamerd.
The mission said there were reasonable grounds to believe the US acted “recklessly” in the strikes. Investigators said Washington failed to do everything feasible to verify that the Minab school, whose civilian nature was apparent, was a military objective.
The school was struck twice on February 28. Local officials put the death toll at 156, including 120 schoolchildren and 26 female teachers, while independent sources cited by the UN mission put the toll at 157.
The White House has rejected the findings. The mission concluded both incidents could meet the legal threshold for the war crime of launching an indiscriminate attack.

Israeli forces carry out new demolitions in southern Lebanon
Israeli forces have carried out a new series of demolitions in southern Lebanon, including in al-Mansouri and Khiam, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
NNA said several powerful explosions were heard in al-Mansouri, south of Tyre, while Israeli forces were also operating on the outskirts of Sarbin in Bint Jbeil district. It separately reported a major demolition in Khiam.
The latest blasts come amid an ongoing Israeli campaign of demolitions across southern Lebanon, where homes and other infrastructure have been destroyed despite a US-brokered ceasefire framework. Al-Mansouri has been repeatedly targeted in recent weeks.

Yemen is not Iran’s bargaining chip, foreign minister says
Yemeni Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba has said in an interview with the Russian state news agency Sputnik that “Yemen is not a bargaining chip for anyone to compensate for losses elsewhere, nor an arena for settling scores, nor a bargaining chip for any regional power to improve its negotiating position.”
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry directly named Iran as the regional power seeking to “improve its negotiating position” in a post on X, as Tehran is locked in war with Washington and negotiations have stalled.
The foreign minister said that “restoring the state is crucial for regional security and the protection of international navigation,” addressing Houthi gains on Yemen’s Red Sea coastline.
