Iran condemns ‘barbaric’ US attack near children’s cancer hospital

Iran has strongly condemned what it described as a "barbaric" and "cowardly war crime" by the United States, following an attack near a children's cancer hospital. The Iranian government's statement denounces the U.S. action, framing it as a deliberate act against a vulnerable civilian facility.

Eyewitness accounts from medical personnel indicate the severity of the incident. A doctor at the hospital reported that the blast was so close that staff initially believed the hospital itself had been struck. This proximity to a facility treating critically ill children has amplified the outrage and condemnation from Iranian officials.

The accusation of a "war crime" highlights the extreme gravity with which Iran views the attack. The incident, occurring in a region already fraught with geopolitical tension, is likely to further inflame relations between Iran and the United States. The focus on the proximity to a children's cancer hospital underscores the alleged disregard for civilian life and medical infrastructure.
