Tehran, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has urged condemnation of Israel and holding the regime accountable for its flagrant atrocity crimes.
"With each passing day, new dimensions of #Netanyahu's war crimes in Tehran and other Iranian cities targeted by the Israeli regime's aggression are displayed to the public," Baqaei wrote on his X account on Saturday.
"The video below captures the aftermath of the Israeli regime's 23 June brutal assault on #Evin Prison's medical facility where inmates' families & friends had gathered to visit their loved ones," he added.
"They were trapped & burned to death under the rubble alongside a number of staffers and passersby: 79 precious lives perished as the result of #Israel's cruel war crime," he stated.
"No person of good conscience can remain silent in the face of such cruelties that are grave violations of international humanitarian law and blatant war crimes," he noted.
"This Israeli regime must be unequivocally condemned and held accountable for the flagrant atrocity crimes it perpetrated against Iranians," Baqaei reiterated.
The Judiciary announced on June 23 that the Israeli regime launched an attack on Evin Prison.
The Judiciary emphasized that this act of aggression blatantly violates international laws.
Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangiri said on June 29 that 71 people lost their lives in an Israeli attack on Evin Prison, in northern Tehran.
Those killed included administrative staff, young men doing their military service, inmates and their family members visiting them. Neighbors living in the vicinity of the prison were also killed or injured, he added.
Israel began an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13, killing over 600 people, including top military commanders, scientists, and civilians.
The Iranian Armed Forces responded powerfully, inflicting widespread damage to areas across the occupied territories.
On June 22, the United States joined Israel, and in coordination with the regime, attacked three Iranian nuclear sites in violation of international law, prompting global condemnations.
The U.S.-Israeli aggression lasted 12 days and came to an end following a ceasefire.
