A clinic near the site of a recent school strike in Iran has been attacked, according to an Iranian official. The attack, allegedly carried out by the US and Israel using drones, caused damage to storage facilities at the Martyr Absalan Clinic, but no casualties were reported.
Iran Clinic Attack Follows School Strike
The Martyr Absalan Clinic is located close to the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab county, which was struck on the first day of the conflict. Ahmad Nafisi, the Political, Security, and Social Deputy Governor of the southern Hormozgan province, reported the damage to the clinic’s storage facilities.
Iran’s Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), cited Nafisi as stating that “several drones” were used in the attack on the medical complex.
“Fortunately, this attack did not lead to any casualties,” Nafisi said, adding that an investigation into the extent of the damage is underway.
The area surrounding the school had been evacuated following the strike on February 28, which Iranian officials say involved two missile strikes. At least 168 people were killed in the school attack, including approximately 110 children.
US military investigators believe American forces may have unintentionally hit the school, according to US media reports. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated the matter is under investigation.
Nafisi added, “Today the whole world knows that the area targeted by the enemy is by no means military, yet we are once again witnessing an attack on this area, which clearly proves the deliberate nature of the attack on Shajareh Tayebeh School in Minab and the killing of 168 pupils and teachers.”
