TEHRAN: Tehran on Thursday accused the United States of carrying out a “barbaric attack” after a cancer hospital in Iran’s southwest was forced to evacuate due to nearby strikes.
“This barbaric attack, reminiscent of Israel’s atrocities against health care facilities, caused severe suffering and anxiety upon the hospitalized children,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei posted on X, saying “211 patients undergoing chemotherapy” were evacuated.
