Nearly a week after being hit by a U.S.-Israeli strike on Sunday, Tehran's Delaram Sina Psychiatric Hospital remains visibly damaged, its reception hall marked by blast scars and its offices littered with missile fragments.
Blast marks were still clear on the floor of the reception hall, along with a ceiling that had been completely shattered.
In the manager's office, all the windows had been blown out, and missile fragments were scattered across the floor.
"On the night of the attack, there were about 30 inpatients in our hospital. The power was cut off and the situation was very critical. With the assistance of the crisis management center, the patients were transferred to other medical centers, and the hospital was then closed. The next morning, we began repairing it," said Asgari, head of the hospital.
The hospital is located just across a street from the blast site, where a factory building was completely destroyed.
Data released on Saturday by the Iranian Pharmacists Association showed that since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, 25 pharmaceutical companies in Iran have been directly or indirectly attacked. Among them, producers of cancer drugs and vaccines were singled out as direct targets of U.S.-Israeli strikes, the association said.
The attacks on pharmaceutical firms added to a growing list of civilian infrastructure hit across Iran, including schools, universities, monuments and bridges, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned that power plants could be next.
