Iranian authorities have called for international action and solidarity after several hospitals and schools were damaged by US and Israeli air strikes on March 1, 2026. The attacks targeted residential areas, including hospitals, schools, Red Crescent facilities, and cultural monuments. Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the actions as "the most heinous crimes of international concern." Pir Hossein Kolivand, head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, demanded an explicit condemnation from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and invoked monitoring and support mechanisms outlined in the Geneva Conventions to prevent similar incidents. The ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric emphasized the need to uphold rules of war and spare civilian infrastructure from attack.
