Iranian Foreign Ministry's Response to the Killing of 79 People in the Bombing of Evin Prison Clinic: Israel Must Be Accountable

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Tehran: A few days after the end of the Israeli regime's military aggression on Iranian soil, new dimensions of the crimes of these attacks are being revealed. The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran wrote in a message on the social network X: "New dimensions of Netanyahu's war crimes in Tehran and other Iranian cities that have been targeted by the Israeli regime's attacks are being revealed."

 

He released a video of the missile attack on the Evin Prison Clinic on July 2, 2021, explaining that at the time of the attack, the families and friends of the prisoners had gathered for a visit and were trapped and burned under the rubble of the bombing, along with a number of staff and passers-by. The attack claimed the lives of at least 79 Iranian citizens.

 

The Iranian diplomatic spokesman went on to emphasize that “no person of conscience can remain silent in the face of such cruelty, which is a gross violation of humanitarian rights and a clear war crime,” and wrote: “This aggressor regime must be firmly condemned and held accountable and punished for committing heinous crimes against the Iranian people.”

 

A few days ago, the Israeli regime inflicted heavy damage to civilian facilities and infrastructure with a series of missile and air strikes on Tehran and several other cities in Iran, which drew strong international reactions and condemnations from organizations and countries. The attack on the Evin Prison clinic was one of the bloodiest attacks in this series.
