As Israel’s heavy assaults on Iran continue, the country’s official news agency has reported that Israel has targeted a hospital named Farabi in the western city of Kermanshah.

These strikes come as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the residents of Tehran would pay the price for the recent attacks on the capital, Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, the number of Israelis killed in Iran’s latest retaliatory strikes on Tel Aviv and Haifa has risen to eight, bringing the total number of Israeli casualties to around twenty.

Media reports have also indicated that in these latest attacks, Iran targeted the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv, damaging the building.

On the other side, Israel’s new strikes resulted in the deaths of a commander and a soldier from the Ansar al-Mahdi unit in the Iranian city of Zanjan.

In addition, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei held separate press conferences regarding the ongoing conflict.

Pezeshkian stated: “We have no intention of developing nuclear weapons, but we do have the right to produce nuclear energy. Iranians are not aggressors; they are under attack.”

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei also called on the United States to officially recognize Israel’s actions as aggression.

This war continues at a time when Iranian officials have rejected the idea of a ceasefire with Israel and have signaled their intent to carry out further destructive operations against the Israeli regime.
