Official Statement by Tehran University of Medical Sciences Condemning the Atrocities of the Zionist Regime

The Zionist regime of Israel, bearing a long and well-documented history of crimes against humanity, has once again engaged in brazen acts of aggression—this time targeting civilian infrastructure and even the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. These indiscriminate and barbaric assaults have resulted in the tragic loss of countless innocent lives, including defenseless men, women, and children, and have gravely undermined the fundamental human rights to life, security, and health for millions.

Tehran University of Medical Sciences, as the oldest and most distinguished academic and research institution in the field of health in the country, categorically condemns these flagrant violations of international law and expresses its unwavering readiness to contribute to crisis response efforts through preventive measures, medical treatment, educational outreach, and the provision of scientifically informed strategies to safeguard public health amidst the current adversities.

Furthermore, the university urgently calls upon all scientists, healthcare professionals, and academic institutions across the globe—particularly those committed to the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ethical principles of medical and academic practice—to actively denounce these inhumane actions. It further calls for decisive and coordinated international responses to the reckless targeting of peaceful nuclear facilities, the environmental and public health consequences of which are likely to persist for generations.

At the end, professor Seyed Reza Raeeskarami, the chancellor of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, stated: following the terrorist attack by the Zionist regime on a residential building adjacent to the university’s dormitory located on Keshavarz Boulevard, part of the dormitory wall collapsed, and several students sustained minor injuries. Despite the structural damage, fortunately no student suffered serious harm, and the university issued an evacuation order for the dormitory.
