Israeli attack on ambulances, enabled by world's silence, amounts to 'war crime': FM spox
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the Israeli regime's attack on a Red Crescent ambulance in Tehran as a blatant war crime and a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
In a statement on Friday, Esmaeil Baghaei said three aid workers were martyred in the deliberate act of aggression.
“The intentional attack on a Red Crescent ambulance in Tehran is a clear example of a war crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” the spokesperson stated.
He said the continuation of such actions is directly linked to the silence and inaction of international organizations, as well as the lack of accountability for past actions by the Zionist regime.
According to the ministry health, six ambulances and one health service center have been directly and deliberately targeted in Israeli aerial strikes in the one week of aggression.
At least three hospitals have also been deliberately targeted, most recently on Thursday.
Last week, a children's hospital in Tehran was also targeted in Tehran, which resulted in a number of injuries and damage to the hospital building.
The attacks on healthcare facilities and healthcare personnel across Iran since last Friday have drawn widespread condemnation as they impede access to critical medical care and endanger the lives of patients and medical personnel.
