Tehran hospital targeted in Israeli strike; Iran threatens strong response

Amid a week of ongoing attacks and counterattacks, Israel has bombed another hospital in Tehran, Iran’s capital. An official from Iran’s Ministry of Health confirmed the strike on Friday.

According to a statement from the Ministry’s Public Relations head, this marks the third hospital targeted by Israel. Additionally, six ambulances and a fully equipped healthcare center have suffered brutal attacks by Zionist forces.

The state news agency IRNA reported that in the past seven days, Israel has violated international law and agreements more than six times amid its aggressive actions.

Addressing the ongoing conflict, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the only way to end the hostilities is to halt Israeli airstrikes. He emphasized Iran’s commitment to peace and stability, saying, “Permanent peace is achievable only if the Zionist aggressors stop their attacks and provide credible guarantees to cease incitement to terrorism.”

President Pezeshkian warned Israel that failure to do so will compel Iran to respond with even stronger and more severe measures. He described an unconditional end to enemy aggression and the cessation of Zionist terrorist operations as the only path to ending the imposed conflict.

In a social media post on platform X, the president reiterated that Iran’s reaction would be more serious and devastating if the attacks continue.
