A September 2026 report from UN Report of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran cited Airwars' documentation of civilian harm, specifically referencing an Airwars investigation into a deadly attack in Lamerd, Iran.

The investigation found the U.S. used a new type of missile called the Precision Strike Munition (PrSM) that sprayed deadly pellets more than 170 metres in all directions.

The UN report stated that the use of the PrSM missile meant the attack "could not be directed at a specific military objective and its effects on civilian and civilian objects could not be limited as required by international humanitarian law."

"Accordingly, the Mission has reasonable grounds to believe that the strike conducted under the command of the United States in Lamerd amounts to the war crime of launching an indiscriminate attack resulting in loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects."
