The Israeli aggression against Iran has extended to the healthcare system as well, with airstrikes targeting at least three hospitals and six ambulances in one week.
These attacks have killed many medical professionals, including a female gynaecologist and a paediatrician with her 3-year-old child, while injuring many other healthcare workers.
Today Monday Israeli aggression targeted a building belonging to Shahid Beheshti University with the aim of sabotaging Iran’s cultural and scientific infrastructure. ‘Israel’ also targeted the entrance to Evin Prison in Tehran

The Israeli assault on Iran’s medical community is part of a broader pattern of violence that echoes the systematic destruction of hospitals and clinics in Gaza amid the genocide that completed 600 days recently.
It lays bare, yet again, the Israeli regime’s flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law and the West’s glaring double standards in reacting to such atrocities.
“We are facing a regime that does not recognize any boundary, any law, or any humanitarian principles,” Iran’s health minister Dr. Mohammad Reza Zafarqandi said earlier this week, condemning the Israeli strikes. “Even medical workers and patients are not spared.”
Strikes on hospitals: A pattern emerges
One of the latest attacks occurred in the early hours of June 20, when Israeli rockets struck a hospital in Tehran. According to health ministry spokesman Dr. Hossein Kermanpour, it marked the third hospital in the capital to be targeted within a week, as part of a wave of aggression that began with the Zionist regime’s terrorist assault on Iran on June 13.
“Six ambulances and a comprehensive health service center have also been brutally attacked by the Zionist enemy,” Kermanpour said.
“There have been at least six violations of international conventions in the past seven days.”
Despite the gravity of these attacks, Western governments have been mute spectators, offering no condemnation of Israel’s assault on Iran’s healthcare community.
