MintPress News reports that US and Israeli forces have bombed over 307 medical facilities in Iran since strikes began on February 28, framing it as part of a historical pattern of targeting medical infrastructure.

The Intercept has published an article characterizing Israel's attacks on Lebanon as a potential deliberate effort to undermine Iran ceasefire negotiations, describing Netanyahu as a long-term spoiler of diplomacy with Iran.
