Iran condemns deadly strike on dormitory in eastern Ukraine
Tehran calls attack on girls’ dorm a war crime and urges global accountability.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei strongly condemned a reported Ukrainian strike on a girls’ dormitory in Starobilsk that killed 21 people and injured dozens. Speaking in Tehran, he described the attack as a violation of legal and moral standards and labelled it a war crime, calling on European nations to take consistent positions on international humanitarian law.
The incident has further escalated tensions, with Russia denouncing the strike as terrorism and launching retaliatory attacks on Ukrainian military infrastructure. Meanwhile, conflicting claims persist over the intended target of the original strike. Baqaei also addressed broader geopolitical tensions, criticising US actions and noting ongoing but inconclusive diplomatic exchanges between Tehran and Washington.
