Iranian Red Crescent Says US-Israeli Strikes Hit Near Tehran Hospitals
(MENAFN) The Iranian Red Crescent reported Sunday that US and Israeli strikes had targeted areas in close proximity to medical and humanitarian facilities across the capital Tehran, raising urgent alarm over potential civilian harm amid an intensifying military confrontation.
The organization said the attacks struck areas near the Red Crescent Building, Khatam al-Anbiya Hospital, Behzisti facilities, and Motahari Hospital in the capital.
No casualty figures or damage assessments had been made available at the time of reporting.
The strikes represent the latest chapter in a rapidly escalating conflict that erupted Saturday when American and Israeli forces launched a large-scale assault on Iran — prompting Tehran to retaliate with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting multiple countries across the region.
The reported proximity of Sunday's attacks to civilian medical infrastructure is likely to intensify international scrutiny over the conduct of military operations in densely populated urban areas, where hospitals and humanitarian organizations are afforded protected status under international law.
The situation took an even more seismic turn on Sunday as Iran officially confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with several of the country's most senior officials, killed in the Israeli and US strikes — a historic and destabilizing blow to the Iranian regime whose full consequences for the region remain uncertain.
