US Strikes Near Iran Cancer Hospital Draw Condemnation

The United States has expanded its military strikes into northern Iran, including an attack near a children's cancer hospital that forced the evacuation of 211 chemotherapy patients. Iran condemned the strike as a 'cowardly crime against children,' while the Pentagon has reportedly delayed a review of the incident. The escalation comes amid reports of a US naval blockade and the use of sea drones, though the release of an American detainee may signal a possible de-escalation.
