Israeli Attacks Kill 45 Children, Women in Iran

In comments at a televised interview, Fatemeh Mohajerani said the Israeli regime has practically imposed a war on Iran.

She noted that the Israeli attacks have resulted in the martyrdom of 45 women and children since June 13, while at least 75 Iranian women and children have been wounded across the country.

The spokeswoman condemned an Israeli strike on the Farabi hospital in Iran’s western city of Kermanshah earlier in the day as a testimony to the savage nature of the Zionist regime and the falsehood of its claims that civilians have not been targeted.

Since the Israeli regime has imposed the war, Iran’s response would be different, she stated.

Lauding the national solidarity and calmness of Iranians, Mohajerani said all people, even the critics, have joined hands to safeguard the motherland.

The Israeli regime attacked a number of residential neighborhoods of Tehran as well as military and nuclear sites in other parts of Iran in the early hours of June 13.

Several top military commanders, nuclear scientists, and dozens of civilians have been martyred in the strikes.

The Iranian Armed Forces have launched several rounds of retaliatory missile attacks against Israeli targets during the past four days.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said after the Israeli aggression that the Zionist regime “has made a big mistake, a grave error, and committed a reckless act.”

“By God’s grace, the consequences of this will bring that regime to ruin,” the Leader warned, adding, “Our Armed Forces are ready, and the country's officials and all the people are behind the Armed Forces. Today, similar messages have been issued by all the various political factions and numerous groups throughout the country. Everyone feels that we must give a strong response to the evil, despicable, terrorist Zionist identity.”
