Iranian state media said Shahid Baghaei hospital in Ahvaz was evacuated to protect patients after the US attacked a nearby location. Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for Iran’s foreign minister, said 211 children receiving chemotherapy were moved and called it a war crime. He also accused countries speaking about human rights of ignoring attacks on hospitals and health centres.
