UN Mission Raises Alarm Over Possible War Crimes in Israel's Airstrikes on Iran
A UN fact-finding mission raised concerns over Israel's airstrikes on Iran, suggesting possible international humanitarian law violations. The strikes have killed civilians, including aid workers, and damaged critical sites. The lack of advance warning and effective shelters heightens the risks, and arbitrary arrests in Iran further complicate the situation.
A United Nations fact-finding mission has raised serious concerns regarding Israel's airstrikes on Iran, suggesting that these attacks may have violated international humanitarian law. The strikes, which began on June 13, have resulted in significant civilian casualties, including the deaths of aid workers and residents in Tehran.
In a series of statements, the mission highlighted the extensive damage inflicted on vital sites, such as a clinic for autistic children and a hospital in Kermanshah. The lack of adequate warning systems and shelters has exacerbated the danger, prompting millions to flee the capital.
Furthermore, the mission underscored issues surrounding arbitrary arrests by Iranian authorities, who detained activists and journalists under espionage charges. The experts urge the protection of detainees near bombing sites and caution against further threats to civilian safety and human rights.
