A drone strike struck an Iranian Red Crescent Society warehouse in Bushehr province on April 3, destroying stored humanitarian aid supplies. The strike drew immediate international condemnation, including from neutral parties, as the Red Crescent emblem affords protected status under international humanitarian law. Iran's government condemned the attack as a deliberate war crime. Iran's FM, already highlighting 2,076 deaths and 600+ schools struck, cited the Bushehr Red Crescent strike as further evidence of a 'moral collapse' in the conduct of the war. The attack has not been officially claimed by the US or Israel, though both have conducted drone operations in Bushehr province targeting Iranian military and industrial infrastructure.
