TODAY'S GERMAN TEXT
UN-Mission prüft US-Schläge im Iran
Die UN-Mission hat am Donnerstag einen Bericht veröffentlicht.
Die Experten sehen gute Gründe für mögliche Kriegsverbrechen.
Am 28. Februar traf ein Schlag eine Schule in Minab.
Nach iranischen Angaben starben dort mehr als 150 Menschen, darunter etwa 120 Kinder.
Der Bericht kann später vor internationalen Gerichten wichtig sein.
