Iran slams ‘barbaric’ US attack after hospital evacuated due to nearby strike
This US Army handout photo released on July 15, 2026 by US Central Command Public Affairs shows three US Army CH-47 Chinook helicopters preparing to land in the Middle East during routine flight operations. The US launched a wave of strikes against Iran on July 15, after it reimposed a naval blockade in a return to war between the two foes. Nearly a month after they signed a memorandum of understanding towards ending the Middle East war, the two sides resumed fighting with strikes on targets across the region.

nTehran on Thursday accused the United States of carrying out a “barbaric attack” after a cancer hospital in Iran’s southwest was forced to evacuate due to nearby strikes.
n“This barbaric attack, reminiscent of Israel’s atrocities against healthcare facilities, caused severe suffering and anxiety upon the hospitalised children,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei posted on X, saying “211 patients undergoing chemotherapy” were evacuated.
