Iranian officials and media sources have denied claims of Iranian missiles striking Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba in Israel, according to Tehran Times.

Iranian reports emphasise that the hospital sustained shockwave damage from nearby blasts and was not directly hit. Iran accused Israel of linking the missile strike to civilian infrastructure to deflect attention from the damage inflicted on its military command network.

This morning’s missile barrage, claimed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was a “precise and direct” strike against military assets — not civilian targets, the report added.

“This false narrative is part of a psychological campaign aimed at sanitising Israel’s military image and concealing the extent of the blow to its intelligence infrastructure,” Iranian sources stated.
