The Shargh newspaper reported on the attack on the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, stating that sensitive centers and laboratories did not suffer serious damage and biological samples were preserved.

The report emphasizes that investigations into the damage to the Pasteur Institute building indicate that this scientific center was affected during three waves of missile attacks in the vicinity of Pasteur Street in Tehran. However, according to officials and field reports, it was not the main target of the attacks, and its sensitive areas and main laboratories have remained safe from complete destruction.

Mehdi Rouhani, the public relations manager of the Pasteur Institute, stated that the building of this institution was not directly targeted, and the damages incurred were mainly due to the intensity of the explosions around it. He mentioned that about eight to nine rooms were damaged, and several doors and windows were broken.
