The Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, took the unusual step of offering Israeli telemedicine services to Iranian citizens in a tweet posted on Thursday.
“Dear people of Iran, A ceasefire has been implemented. Now, the extent of the damage is becoming clear. At this moment, the regime is focused on its senior percentages, not on caring for its citizens. We stand with you and have formed a team of specialized doctors, including experts in cardiology, diabetes, pulmonary diseases, infectious diseases, oncology, as well as support for pregnant women and psychological support,” the agency tweeted in Farsi.
“Senior doctors in various and numerous specialties are available for every need and case, including wounds and injuries, first aid, pain, illness, and any other consultation, provided through TELEMEDICINE.”
The tweet added that Iranians can communicate with doctors in Persian or English and instructed people to reach out using a virtual private network (VPN).
The tweet said medical professionals could be contacted through WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal, as well as phone numbers listed in the tweet.
The account is followed by more than 10,300 people.
Telemedicine is the remote delivery of healthcare services using technology, such as video calls, phone calls, or mobile apps, allowing patients to consult with doctors without visiting a clinic or hospital in person.
In 2022, doctors from the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan provided remote medical care for thousands of Ukrainians through a field hospital set up by the Ukraine-Moldova border.
Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, citing intelligence that Tehran had reached “a point of no return” in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
According to Israeli defense officials, Iran has developed the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium and assemble nuclear bombs, with sufficient fissile material for up to 15 weapons.
Israeli intelligence also exposed a covert program to complete all components of a nuclear device.
The strikes marked a dramatic escalation in what officials describe as a broader Iranian strategy combining nuclear development, missile proliferation, and proxy warfare aimed at Israel’s destruction.
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect on Tuesday. During 12 days of fighting, Iranian missile strikes killed 28 Israelis and injured over 3,000.
