In a post on X on Thursday, Esmail Baqaei noted that the Shahid Baqaei Hospital, a children’s cancer treatment center in Ahvaz, was evacuated Wednesday night after the US attacked a location near it.
“This barbaric attack, which is reminiscent of Israel’s crimes against medical centers, caused severe suffering and anxiety for hospitalized children and led to the emergency evacuation of 211 patients undergoing chemotherapy,” he said.
Stating that this is a cowardly war crime against the most innocent people - children who are bravely fighting for their lives - the spokesperson wrote, “Those who constantly talk about human rights but deliberately ignore the targeting of hospitals and medical centers, have lost their moral credibility.”
