Founded in 1920 in cooperation with the Paris-based Pasteur Institute, the facility targeted in today’s U.S.-Israeli strikes - the Pasteur Institute in Tehran - is one of the oldest public health centers in the Middle East. It is also a core pillar of Iran’s infectious disease control architecture.
➤ Since its establishment, it has played a major role in producing millions of doses of vaccines and combating infectious diseases including smallpox, cholera, rabies, tuberculosis, and hepatitis B.
➤ It operates dozens of research departments and laboratories focused on disease surveillance, diagnostics, and biotechnology, employing hundreds of scientists and specialists
➤ It has also served as a regional exporter of vaccines across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, making it a key node in global public health infrastructure
