Up to 7,000 Iranian schoolgirls have been poisoned in organized campus attacks in at least 28 of 31 of the country’s provinces, as reported by the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
WMC These reports started last November in Qom after 18 girls at the Nour Technical School were hospitalized for nausea, respiratory symptoms, and heart palpitations. These incidents have since continued nationwide; the most recent report was on April 4, when 20 schoolgirls were hospitalized in Tabriz.
Iran’s education minister, Youssef Nouri, initially dismissed these reports as rumors. After unexplained chemical attacks occurred in 10 more cities through February 2023, however, Alireza Monadi, head of the Parliament’s Education Committee, confirmed schools were “deliberately attacked.”
Iranian police arrested 110 people on March 15 in connection to these poisonings, and the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also condemned the attacks, calling them “unforgivable crimes” that warrant “the most severe of punishments.”
However, infuriated citizens are accusing the Iranian regime of perpetrating these attacks as revenge against the anti-regime protests that took place after government officials killed Zhina (Mahsa) Amini in September of 2022 for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. These illnesses have reignited protests against the regime, which have erupted across a dozen cities, including Isfahan, Rasht, and the country’s capital, Tehran.

Nonetheless, the regime continues to crack down on these revolutionary protests. According to a report released Thursday, April 13, by the Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and the France-based Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM) groups, the Iranian regime has executed at least 582 people in the last year to instill fear among their citizens.
Several Iranian politicians have accused religious groups that oppose girls’ education of carrying out the poisonings, and a little-known group from Qom calling itself Fadayeen-e Velayat has claimed responsibility. The group said that allowing girls to receive an education was a violation of Islam, and threatened to step up the attacks if the authorities continue to allow female students in the classroom.

With Biden being silent about Iran & Afghanistan, evil Muslims can do what they like.’
I trust in 2024, Americans will vote in a strong President.
I pray they don’t copy Australian stupidity.

It’s got nothing to do with that. The Democrats are much better at rigging/stealing elections than we are.

That’s scary.

Where is our so-called president? It’s obvious that like Obama, Joe could care less about true female humans. I have heard absolutely nothing regarding the mass murder of Iranian females from either Joe or his minion, Blinken. I am almost ashamed to be an American with this worthless POS in the what used to be, White House.

You’re not alone. The Biden regime makes everyone ashamed to be an American 😞.
