❗️Iran's healthcare system under pressure as over 15,000 wounded in US-Israeli attacks flood hospitals

Iran’s healthcare system is coming under severe strain as the US–Israeli war enters its third week, with roughly 15,000 wounded flooding hospitals across the country, according to Iranian health officials. The surge of casualties has pushed emergency wards, operating theatres, and intensive care units toward their limits as medical teams struggle to manage the growing influx of war victims.

The pressure comes as the country’s healthcare infrastructure absorbs damage from the ongoing bombing campaign. Iranian officials say at least 31 hospitals and major clinical centres have been struck, with 12 rendered out of service, while emergency bases, ambulances, and rural health facilities have also been damaged. Eleven health workers have been killed since the start of the war and dozens more injured.

Years of western sanctions have compounded the crisis, leaving hospitals short of advanced surgical equipment and vital medical supplies just as the number of wounded surges. Doctors say medical teams have been forced to improvise with limited tools while working continuous shifts, as facilities across major cities reorganize wards and mobilize medical students and retired physicians to keep the system functioning under mounting pressure.

Iran has every right to cripple the zionist's healthcare system. Why can one country bomb children, the elderly, the unarmed, and the medical workers, but so many western leftists seem to condemn retaliation?

The zionists wouldn't be doing it if there was no advantage. Allowing my opponent to use dirty tactics and abstaining from using them myself gives them no reason to stop.

"israel" has been allowed to bomb schools and hospitals with impunity because their own schools and hospitals have never been systemically targeted.

I am a strong supporter of Iran doing so in retaliation, the only language zionists understand is violence.

I don't think hitting hospitals achieves anything other than wasting missiles. The zionists do this because they like killing the innocent, and because they are losing hard, and so are attempting to sow instability (which isn't working, as Iranians are coming out every day in support of their government).

It also hardens support for the aggression. If Iran hits a hospital every family member and friend effected is more ready to put their body on the alter to get revenge.
