Iran’s Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi has stated that Israeli forces have so far attacked six ambulances and three hospitals in the ongoing conflict, killing two healthcare workers and one child in these attacks.
Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have reported that 24 civilians have been killed in Iran’s missile attacks since the conflict began on June 13.
Last Thursday, Iran launched a missile attack on Soroka Hospital in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba. According to the Times of Israel, the missile strike caused part of the hospital’s roof to collapse and shattered exterior windows.
In the latest Israeli attack, at least five people were killed in Iran’s Khurramabad city, according to local media reports.
Separately, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, attending the OIC conference in Istanbul, Turkey, told journalists on the sidelines that if the US joins Israel’s aggression against Iran, it would be extremely dangerous for all parties.
Araghchi stated that diplomacy can only resume if aggression stops first. He added, “While bombs are falling on my people—bombings supported by the US—how can I engage in talks with America?”
He further claimed that Iran has concluded the US has been involved in this aggression from the beginning. “They deny it, repeatedly saying they’re not involved. But there are many indications they’ve been complicit since day one. Now, the US president’s interview makes it clear—he openly admits America’s leadership in this matter,” Araghchi said.
