US-Israeli Airstrikes Damage Iranian Healthcare

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning regarding 'multiple attacks on health' in Iran, following an airstrike that significantly damaged the Iran===Pasteur Institute of Iran in Tehran. This incident is part of a broader pattern of strikes by the United States and Israel targeting Iranian health, educational, and transport infrastructure, moving beyond initial military and security targets. Other affected facilities include Shahid Beheshti University, Imam Hossein University, Malek-Ashtar University, Tofigh Daru (a major pharmaceutical company), Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital, and Gandhi Hospital. The Iranian Red Crescent reports 307 health facilities damaged. The US and Israel justify these attacks by claiming Iran is developing nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran denies. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has called for urgent support for health systems in the wider region, including Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, due to mass displacement and increased risk of communicable disease outbreaks.
