Overview
- Iran’s embassy in India released video from Mahatma Gandhi Hospital accusing the United States and Israel of hitting civilian sites and claiming more than 600 hospitals and 60 schools were struck, a tally not independently verified.
- Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, a children’s facility in northern Tehran, was damaged in airstrikes on March 2, a fact confirmed by the World Health Organization and Reuters, and patients were evacuated after the blast.
- State-linked Fars and Mizan news agencies published interior footage that shows debris scattered inside the hospital near equipment and wheelchairs.
- High-level talks in Islamabad between US and Iranian delegations ended without an agreement, according to multiple reports, leaving core disputes over nuclear terms and regional security unresolved.
- Coverage places the broader US–Israel air campaign as starting on February 28, while contested accounts attempt to link the strikes to claims about Iran’s leadership, a narrative that remains disputed across reports.
