Iran Condemns US-israel Attack on Gandhi Hospital in Tehran as Blatant War Crime
Iran has condemned the recent joint military action by the United States and Israel targeting Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital. This attack follows a series of bombings at educational institutions and the tragic killing of over 160 girls in Minab.
On Tuesday, in a statement posted on his X account, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei remarked that the bombings continue unabated, even as the aggressors assert they have the most sophisticated military equipment and precision-targeting technology.
He asserted that the intentional targeting and destruction of civilian infrastructure, medical establishments, educational institutions, and media outlets by the United States and Israel, aimed at crippling civilian life, represent clear war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He emphasized that no accountable nation can stay silent when confronted with such atrocities.
On Sunday, US-Israeli airstrikes targeted sections of the Gandhi Hospital, impacting its neonatal ward, as well as two adjacent multi-story buildings.
On Saturday, the United States and Israel initiated a military offensive against Iran, resulting in the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, along with several high-ranking commanders.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in collaboration with the Iranian Army has launched a series of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and American locations across the region. The operations are ongoing and mark a significant escalation in regional tensions.
