Iran has accused Israel of committing a 'war crime' after an airstrike destroyed an Iranian-run field hospital near the Syria-Lebanon border on Friday. The attack, which leveled the 56-bed facility operated by the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), has sparked global outrage and renewed calls to address escalating tensions in West Asia. 🌍⚡
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the strike, calling it a 'clear violation of international humanitarian law' and accusing Israel of deliberately targeting medical and rescue centers in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. 🚨 The hospital was reportedly marked with the IRCS flag to signal its protected status under international law. 'This is a war crime,' Baghaei stated.
IRCS President Pirhossein Kolivand echoed the condemnation, emphasizing that the strike destroyed critical medical supplies and equipment meant for civilians. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi met with Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Doha, where both leaders called for urgent regional cooperation to stop Israel's 'warmongering' and support Palestinians and Lebanese affected by the conflict. 🤝💬
The Qatari foreign minister described Israel's actions as 'crimes' that destabilize the region, urging collective action to ensure stability. As tensions rise, the international community faces mounting pressure to address what Iran claims is a 'genocide' unfolding in Gaza and Lebanon. 📢
