Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to the attack on Soroka Hospital this morning, claiming in a post on X that "the blast caused superficial damage to a small part of the nearby military hospital, which was mostly evacuated. The facility is mainly used to treat Israeli soldiers involved in the genocide in Gaza." Araghchi further added that he calls on all Israelis "to follow evacuation instructions published by Iran and stay away from military and intelligence sites."
