Iran has condemned Israel's recent airstrike on an Iranian field hospital near the Syria-Lebanon border, calling it a \"war crime\" 💔🏥.
According to Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, the 56-bed hospital operated by the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) was destroyed along with all its equipment and aid supplies 📦🔥.
\"Attacking a medical facility clearly marked with the IRCS flag is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law,\" said Baghaei. He added that Israel's frequent strikes on hospitals and rescue centers in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria are a \"clear sign of its insurgence against all international regulations and norms\" 😠.
IRCS President Pirhossein Kolivand echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of protecting medical centers during conflicts. \"This is not just an attack on a building; it's an attack on humanity,\" he stated 🏥🙏.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi met with Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani in Doha. They discussed the escalating tensions in the region, with Araghchi labeling Israel's actions as \"warmongering\" and the main cause of insecurity and instability in West Asia 🌍⚠️.
Araghchi called for an end to what he described as \"genocide\" and the destruction of infrastructure in Lebanon and Gaza. The Qatari foreign minister agreed, urging regional cooperation to stop the Israeli \"crimes\", promote stability, and support the Palestinian and Lebanese people 🤝🕊️.
As tensions rise, the call for peace and the protection of innocent lives becomes ever more urgent. The world watches and hopes for a resolution that brings stability to the region 🌐❤️.
