Iranian Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi announced on Saturday that recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran have resulted in the deaths of two female doctors and a child, and left several medical staff injured. The attacks reportedly involved direct strikes on hospitals and emergency vehicles.
According to Zafarghandi, one of the doctors was a pediatrician, while the other, a gynecologist, was killed along with her child while performing her medical duties.
The Israeli assault targeted three hospitals and six ambulances engaged in transporting the wounded. The Ministry of Health identified the affected medical facilities as:
- Hakim Children's Hospital in Tehran – June 13
- Primary Healthcare Center in Qasr-e Shirin – June 13
- Farabi Hospital in Kermanshah – June 16
- Iranian Red Crescent Society Center in Tehran – June 18
According to the Iranian Health Ministry, at least 430 civilians have been killed and more than 3,500 injured since the beginning of the Israeli aggression.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei on Monday said "Israel" was deliberately targeting civilian areas, stating that the attacks were "a grave violation of international law and a war crime," reportedly directed by Israeli security officials.
"History will judge," he warned, adding, "eternal shame awaits the regime's backers and apologists."
