Shafaqna English- After the aggressive act carried out by the US on Wednesday evening, which targeted an area near a children’s cancer hospital in Ahvaz, Iran, the foreign ministry spokesperson described the action as a “cowardly war crime.”
“Shahid Baqaei Hospital, a children’s cancer treatment center in Ahvaz, was evacuated last night following a US attack on a nearby location,” Esmaeil Baqaei shared on his X page.
“This barbaric attack, reminiscent of Israel’s atrocities against healthcare facilities, caused severe distress and anxiety among the children in the hospital and led to the emergency evacuation of 211 patients undergoing chemotherapy.” “This act constitutes a cowardly war crime against the most innocent of human beings—children who are bravely fighting for their lives,” he added.
