Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded
At the same time, Iran has condemned this attack by America. A Foreign Ministry spokesman described the US attack near a children’s cancer hospital in Ahvaz as a barbaric war crime. He has said that due to this attack, 211 patients undergoing chemotherapy had to be evacuated from there in an emergency situation.
Ismail Bagai posted on X that the Martyr Bagai Hospital, a children’s cancer treatment center in Ahvaz, was evacuated last night. America had attacked a nearby place.
He said that this barbaric attack is a reminder of Israel’s atrocities against health services. Caused immense suffering and anxiety for the children admitted to the hospital. 211 patients undergoing chemotherapy were forced to leave the place due to emergency. This is a dastardly war crime against the most innocent of human beings, the children who are bravely fighting for their lives.
Bagai said that he constantly talks about human rights. We turn a blind eye when hospitals and health centers are targeted. He has lost all his moral credibility. All the patients have been shifted to another hospital. His treatment is continuing.
