НҮБ-ын баримт шалгах комисс хоёрдугаар сард Иранд болсон цэргийн ажиллагааг дайны гэмт хэрэг гэж үзэж, уг ажиллагааг АНУ-ын хүчин үйлдсэн байх үндэслэлтэй гэж мэдэгдлээ.
НҮБ-ын бие даасан баримт шалгах комиссын тайланд дурдсанаар, хоёрдугаар сард Минаб хотын “Shajareh Tayyebeh” бага сургуульд хийсэн цохилтын улмаас 120 орчим сурагч нийт 150 гаруй хүн амиа алджээ. Судалгаагаар тус сургууль нь иргэний зориулалттай байгууламж байсан бөгөөд цэргийн зорилгоор ашиглагдаж байсан гэх нотлох баримт олдоогүй байна. АНУ-ын тагнуулын байгууллага тухайн байршилд Ираны цэргийн өндөр албан тушаалтан байсан гэх мэдээлэлд үндэслэн цохилт өгсөн ч, мэдээллээ баталгаажуулаагүй нь хариуцлагагүй үйлдэл болсныг шинжээчид онцолжээ.
Үүнтэй ижил төстэй өөр нэгэн хэрэг Ламерд хотын спортын төвд гарсан бөгөөд уг цохилт нь ойр орчмын орон сууц болон сургуулийг гэмтээж, 22 энгийн иргэний аминд хүрсэн байна. АНУ-ын Төв командлал гуравдугаар сард гаргасан мэдэгдэлдээ Ламерд хотод ямар нэгэн цохилт өгөөгүй гэж няцаасан. АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп зургаадугаар сард хийсэн мэдэгдэлдээ охидын сургууль руу зориудаар довтлоогүй хэмээн мэдэгдэж, дотоодын мөрдөн шалгах ажиллагаа үргэлжилж байгааг дурджээ.
Тайланд мөн өнгөрсөн оны арванхоёрдугаар сараас хойш Иранд өрнөсөн эсэргүүцлийн жагсаалыг дарах үеэр Ираны эрх баригчид хүн төрөлхтний эсрэг гэмт хэрэг үйлдсэн гэж дүгнэв. Жагсаалыг дарах явцад хүний амь нас хохирох, эрүүдэн шүүх, дур зоргоороо баривчлах болон үзэл бодлоо илэрхийлэх эрх чөлөөг ноцтой зөрчих үйлдлүүд гарсан байна. Албан ёсны тоо баримтаар 3,038 хүн амиа алдаж, 25,000 хүн гэмтэж бэртсэн гэх боловч НҮБ-ын шинжээчид бодит хохирлын хэмжээ үүнээс их байх магадлалтай гэж үзэж байна.

A UN fact-finding mission on Iran has said there are reasonable grounds to believe the US was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, and that these constituted war crimes.
It also found Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their deadly crackdown on anti-government protests.
The findings by the independent international fact-finding mission on Iran, to be submitted to the UN human rights council in Geneva, examined the US’s conduct during the Iran war that began in February and the Iranian government’s response to nationwide unrest that begun in late December.
US officials have previously said military operations are conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict, while Iran has consistently rejected allegations of systematic rights violations.
The UN experts said they found reasonable grounds to believe US forces were responsible for an attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in the city of Minab, where more than 150 people were killed, including around 120 schoolchildren, according to Iranian officials.
It constituted an indiscriminate attack causing civilian deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure, amounting to a war crime under international law, the mission concluded.
According to the report, the US relied on intelligence suggesting a senior Iranian military commander was present at the site but failed to adequately verify the information before launching the strike. Investigators said the failure to update targeting intelligence and confirm the building was a military objective amounted to more than mere negligence.
“Rather, the US directed the strikes at the building of the school while being aware of a substantial risk of striking a civilian object and acting recklessly as regards the possibility that this would happen.”
In June the US president, Donald Trump, said that “nobody” purposefully attacked a girls’ school in Iran in February, citing an investigation into the incident. Reuters first reported that an initial internal US military investigation showed US forces were probably responsible for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran.
The Pentagon has since elevated the inquiry but it has not published any preliminary findings.
UN experts said the school was a clearly identifiable civilian object and found no evidence it was being used for military purposes.
The experts reached a similar conclusion over a strike on a sports centre in Lamerd. The report said the attack damaged nearby residential buildings and a school and killed and injured 22 civilians. It concluded that the strike was indiscriminate and therefore constituted a war crime.
US Central Command said in a statement in March that US forces did not launch any strikes into the city of Lamerd on that day.
The UN mission found that the Iranian authorities carried out a widespread and systematic attack against civilians during protests that erupted in late December last year, involving unlawful killings, torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances and severe restrictions on freedom of expression.
Rights groups say bystanders were among those killed during the biggest crackdown since Shia Muslim clerics took power in the 1979 revolution. Tehran blamed “terrorists and rioters” backed by exiled opponents and foreign foes the US and Israel.
The investigation said it could not independently verify the death toll, but that it believed the number of dead and injured was probably far higher than official figures, which say 3,038 people were killed and 25,000 people injured.
The government’s response to the protests, including violence and killings, cutting off the internet and use of the death penalty, marked a significant escalation from previous patterns of suppressing dissent, the report said.
