Crime at 17:10 p.m. Report on the Attacks by the Israeli Zionist Regime and the United States on Lamerd Stadium (February 28 2026)

On February 28 2026 (9 Esfand 1404) during joint attacks by the United States and the Israeli Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran the Lamerd Stadium in Fars province and its surrounding areas were targeted by four new generation PrSM missiles. Due to the nature of the weapon and the time of impact (during peak daytime hours) these attacks resulted in the martyrdom of at least 21 civilians including child athletes and injured 170 others. The effects resulting from the airburst explosion of the missile and the dispersal of 180000 Tungsten fragments across various locations including the children’s sports hall residential areas and other city centers all indicate the deployment of a new missile known as PrSM. According to the rules of international law the deployment of this antipersonnel weapon in residential areas is a flagrant violation of the principles of distinction proportionality and precaution and constitutes a deprivation of individuals right to life. Based on Article 8 of the Rome Statute it is considered an overt war crime.

UN experts’ report on US and Israeli military attacks on Minab School

The experts recalled reports that a primary school in Minab was struck twice during school hours on 28 February 2026 killing 168 children and several teachers. According to the information received the school was clearly identifiable as a civilian educational facility and there was no indication that it was being used for military purposes. “Five months following the school bombing in Minab the US and Israel have not made any findings public raising valid questions regarding the impartiality effectiveness and transparency of any investigation that may be underway” the experts said. “Justice delayed is justice denied.” They noted that the attack on the Minab school is the most egregious example of a wider failure by the US and Israel to ensure the protection of civilians during armed conflict including women and children. Characterizing civilian deaths as a mistake does not diminish States obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law nor does it preclude individual criminal responsibility where violations have occurred the experts said. Victims and their families are entitled to truth justice and effective reparations.
