> UN human rights experts say there are reasonable grounds to believe the US committed war crimes in strikes on a school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd that killed at least 177 civilians. Washington has denied or not acknowledged responsibility and says it is investigating the Minab strike. The experts also accused Iranian authorities of crimes against humanity during a crackdown on protests.
