Iran has denounced the recent US-Israeli attack on Tehran’s Gandhi hospital, which came in the wake of bombings of schools and massacre of more than 160 girls in Minab.

In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the bombings come despite the aggressors’ claims of possessing the most advanced military hardware and precision-targeting systems. 

He emphasized that the deliberate targeting and destruction of civilian infrastructure, medical facilities, schools, and media institutions by the United States and Israel, with the aim of paralyzing civilian life, “constitute blatant war crime and crimes against humanity.”

“No responsible state can remain silent in the face of these atrocities,” he added. 

Iran holds funeral for scores of children murdered in US-Israeli aggression

Funeral procession begins for the victims of the deadly strike that hit an elementary school in southern Iran during the latest Israeli-American aggression.

On Sunday, the US-Israeli airstrikes hit parts of the Gandhi hospital, including its neonatal ward and two nearby multi story buildings.

The United States and Israeli launched an unprovoked war of aggression on Iran on Saturday, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several top commanders.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army immediately began hitting Israeli and American targets across the region in ongoing missile and drone operations.
