State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Japan, Germany, Korea, Yemen, Somalia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Ian, Syria, Lebanon……I think you get the picture…
Shocked I tell ya, totally shocked….
Iran has committed war crimes in Iran against its own people. UN reports? Now that’s a reliable source. They must be right when it fits your narrative.
Okay. First, I trust the UN about as much as I trust the UN. Or Demoncrats.
Second, @bricsinfo is an anonymous account (well, okay, so is Hammers Thor, but I digress) and [may] have Indian ties (India Indian… you know, tech support) and I trust them about as much as I trust the UN.
Possible? Perhaps. Likely? No, not inclined to believe that at this point.
I verified the UN report because I don’t trust any one source in these times. The 120 dead children has been verified long ago.
Okay, I knew about the 120 kids. Somehow I read more into the post than was there. If indeed the post was referring to this event on 28 February 2026, the idea of a war crime is patently absurd. The UN committee (whatever that is) may call it a war crime, however the US says that a war crime requires INTENT, which I believe is the correct interpretation of this.
So, the X post is a lie engineered to make the reader think “the UN just declared the US guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity” — which is not what the document says.
Now, since this was a UN committee that is specifically saying this, let’s review who is actually making the claim that the US committed war crimes:
Those who DID:
The primary source — the three independent experts:
The “war crime” language comes specifically from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran — Sara Hossain, Viviana Krsticevic, and Max du Plessis. They are not diplomats, not government officials, not representatives of any nation. They are individual legal/human rights experts appointed by the HRC. Their report (released yesterday, September 17) is the document that uses the phrase “reasonable grounds to believe the US committed the war crime of launching indiscriminate attacks.”
Those who DID NOT:
No government has publicly stated “the US committed a war crime.” Not the 25 HRC member states, not the EU, not any ally.
The US State Department said the US “did not give credibility to the findings.”
The Pentagon has not released its own investigation findings.
So the short answer: three independent experts made the formal finding, backed by a broad coalition of civil society organizations and legal academics who reached the same conclusion through their own analysis. No government has endorsed it.
The original post is misleading in two specific ways:
1. “United Nations mission” overstates the institutional weight.
It’s three independent experts (a fact-finding mission of the HRC), not the UN as an organization. The General Assembly, Security Council, and Secretariat did not make this finding. The framing implies a much heavier institutional endorsement than exists.
2. “War crimes AND crimes against humanity” conflates two separate findings against different actors.
War crimes → finding against the US (indiscriminate attack on the school)
Crimes against humanity → finding against Iran’s own government (crackdown on the Woman, Life, Freedom protests)
The post lumps them together as if both are findings against the US. They’re not. The crimes against humanity finding has nothing to do with the strikes or the US.
Some of these details came from BraveAI, which is as left-biased as it can be, and even IT couldn’t make the argument that this constituted a war crime.
I see your point.
1. I have little respect for the UN.
2. If the report is correct, what do you think the response of the US would be?
3.120 children were killed.
4. More deaths occurred when a second attack hit the school when teachers and parents were trying to rescue the children.
5. After a certain point, we have to ask if we are the “baddies”.
You know the answer to point 5.
There is plenty of non-anonymous articles like this:

Seems there is some smoke and just maybe fire aka war crimes around.
As Nurenburg pointed out the “Winners” get to write history and prosecute “war crimes”.
Soldiers are soldiers. All of history points out how poorly they can act. Rape, murder of surrendered soldiers and civilians and pillaging were and are still common enough. War crimes Laws were developed to protect the civilians from “unrestricted war” and the Genevia Conventions to protect Prisoners of War and such from abuses.
For example, in a desert destroying a city’s water systems and power grid systems is a war crime as all civilians there are highly likely to DIE from LACK of Water while the Military and Leadership often have reserves and options to survive until the water systems are repaired.
America hasn’t been the “Good Guys” as much as we think. Nobody has but that doesn’t make it better that everybody does it?
