Die Einzelheiten

US President Donald Trump initially suggested the Iranians themselves were behind the strike, something experts consider extremely unlikely. He later announced an investigation, the results of which are still pending. This week, Trump said no one carried out the attack intentionally.

Investigations, he said, are still ongoing. The conclusion that the US and Israel violated international law with their airstrikes against Iran is clear from the perspective of many legal experts. But the attack in Minab raises an additional question: Did the US military commit a war crime?

Was Experten sagen

Alternatively, you can sign up for a SPIEGEL+ subscription below. A DER SPIEGEL team has reconstructed the events of February 28. Our reporters reviewed and verified videos and images through geolocation in addition to analyzing Iranian sources, including media reports, online portals and the websites of institutions and state-affiliated organizations.

Reporting from inside Iran is virtually impossible, since DER SPIEGEL journalists – like those of many other outlets – are unable to obtain visas. Sweeping internet restrictions continue to affect the flow of information. Phone calls are frequently monitored.
