ISTANBUL, April 4 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- An Iranian psychiatric hospital in the capital, Tehran, was struck during ongoing United States (US)-Israeli attacks, but no casualties were reported, Anadolu Ajansi reported, citing authorities on Saturday.
Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital sustained damage in the strike and is currently unable to operate, according to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, which cited the head of the facility.
The hospital has been fully evacuated, the official said, adding that restoring full services across all departments could take five to six months.
Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
