Shahid Motahari Sub-Speciality Hospital in northern Tehran and parts of the Golestan Palace were bombed on day two of the U.S.‑Israel strikes. AnewZ Touraj Shiralilou is in Iran's capital city and said that the facility was flattened in an airstrike.
“Fortunately there were no patients inside at the time,” Shiralilou said, citing hospital staff.
Hospital managers had anticipated an attack and had evacuated staff and patients to safety ahead of time.
At least ten hospitals, health centres, and emergency services have been damaged or destroyed since Saturday's strikes, five of them in Tehran alone.
Just two blocks away, Shiralilou said that the Iran Red Crescent Society reported that more than 600 civilian casualties, including 185 school girls were killed on the first day.
Golestan Palace, a cultural heritage site in downtown Tehran, was partially destroyed when a nearby government building was bombed on the second day.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told the state media that Iran had warned the United States and Israel that the conflict would not be confined to their countries, but could spread across the region, calling U.S. actions a betrayal of negotiations.
He urged neighbouring states to pressure the U.S. not to use their bases for attacks and criticised Washington for betraying the negotiating table.
Iran’s top security official, Ali Nasser, described the conflict as a “prolonged war” in a message on X, emphasising that Iran will no longer engage in negotiations with the United States, following earlier claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran had approached Washington for talks.
