Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted to X on Thursday to justify the Iranian regime's targeting of Soroka Medical Center by comparing it to the destruction of hospitals in Gaza, alleging there are military targets nearby.
"Our powerful Armed Forces accurately eliminated an Israeli Military Command, Control & Intelligence HQ and another vital target," Araghchi claimed, discussing the ballistic missile attack on Soroka Medical Center.
Araghchi claimed that the ballistic missile was targeting the IDF centers in the nearby area, posting a supposed map of the Soroka Medical Center.
Araghchi claimed that Soroka was used primarily to treat IDF soldiers and that the destruction of "94% of Palestinian hospitals" justified the bombing.
He called on Israelis to heed evacuation warnings sent by the Iranian government and to avoid placing themselves near military and intelligence sites.
"Our powerful Armed Forces will continue to pummel the criminals who target our people until they cease and pay for their criminal aggression against our nation," Araghchi said.
However, the map posted by Araghchi contained numerous errors and mistakes, which indicate that AI generated it.
Littered with mistakes
Some of these mistakes include significant distortion of multiple letters across the map, mislabeled or double labeling of roads, and non-existent roads.
For example, Yitzhak Rager Boulevard is labeled as "Rager Bivd." Another designation for Yitzhak Rager Boulevard is Route 406; however, the Iranian map labels Route 406 as a different road, but also labels it as Highway 25. In reality, Highway 25 and Route 406 merge around a kilometer south of Soroka Medical Center.
The map also shows an Eli Cohen Boulevard, which does not exist; there is no Eli Cohen Boulevard in Beersheba.
The map itself does not even show the street plan of the area surrounding Soroka, and it places buildings and areas that are not next to each other as if they are on the same street.
