Iranian doctors have deployed various strategies to honour their obligation of ethical care for the wounded. Iranian doctors have resisted becoming pawns in this systemic oppression and demonstrated bravery, ingenuity, and resilience in upholding their medical and ethical obligations. I would like to urge more clinicians and medical organisations to condemn the continued violation of human rights and war against Iranian medical professionals. The medical community can contact their local governments and international organisations to verbally condemn crimes against humanity and attacks on Iranian healthcare. Meaningful action can be taken against the perpetrators of these crimes through international laws, not releasing Iranian frozen assets in international bank accounts, sanctions, and denouncing responsible individuals and organisations as terrorists.
