A century-old medical research centre set up to fight infectious diseases like plague and smallpox has been heavily damaged in strikes on Tehran, Iran’s health ministry has said.

The Pasteur Institute of Iran, which is one of the country’s leading public health centres and is part of a global research network, plays a key role in combating infectious diseases like cholera and Covid-19.

Hossein Kermanpour, a spokesperson for Iran’s health ministry, condemned the attack as a “a direct assault on international health security,” calling the centre “a century-old pillar of global health”.

Let's see how long it takes for defenders of the war to claim that biological warfare weapons were being manufactured there.

I'm sure Hegseth will be along shortly to claim it had deep bunkers that were harbouring an IRGC command center.

Either him or Netanyahu.

Rather defines a breach in the laws of armed conflict doesn't it?

I had posted a thread about how Iranian exiles are turning against the war. This attack and others on civilian infrastructure should hasten their defection .
