Iran Condemns US Attack Near Children's Cancer Hospital in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's state media condemned the U.S. attack as a 'barbaric' war crime, citing the proximity of the strike to a children's cancer hospital. A doctor at the hospital described the blast as being 'so close' they initially thought the facility had been hit. The attack occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil and gas transportation, which has been a focal point of the ongoing conflict. The U.S. has not officially commented on the incident, though it has been a recurring point of contention in the region.
