Chemical attacks on schools continued in Iran on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. School girls in Tehran and several other cities in Iran, including Karaj, Islamshahr, Kermanshah, Ahvaz, and Urmia, were poisoned in chemical attacks on schools by agents of Khamenei.
Schools affected include Kowsar, Sa’ed, Abrar, Pardis Sharif, and Makkeh, as well as Ghias Educational Complex in Tehran, Tahzeeb and Rezvan in Karaj, Saipa in Islamshahr, Nabovvat, Esmat, and Effat in Kermanshah, Setayesh High School in Ahvaz, Iman in Saqqez, and Baharan in Ardabil, Hadaf High School in Urmia.
Many students were taken to medical centers, some reportedly in serious condition.
This follows a similar incident that occurred the day before, where at least 23 schools in various cities were attacked with poison gas and sent to medical centers.
Despite the apparent severity of the situation, the state-run Fars News Agency has attempted to downplay the issue and shift the blame onto the students themselves.
In a report published today, April 18, 2023, Fars News Agency claimed that “more than 90 percent of the cases were committed by students, and the mischief of the teenage period. The extensive media coverage has created competition among students in this regard. In a few cases, some teachers have committed violations, and the case of their violation is being processed…. The cause for the discomfort of the students transferred to the medical centers is about 80% abuse and about 20% indoctrination. Of course, in some cases, they suffer from asthma, lung or heart problems, and the irritation of smelly substances or stress has led to their discomfort.”
The above claims made by the Fars News Agency are a part of the Iranian regime’s ongoing attempts to deflect blame and avoid responsibility for the poisoning of school students.
Khamenei continues to poison girl students to postpone the outbreak of another nationwide uprising amid the country’s economic crisis.
The international community should hold the regime accountable and demand admission to the country for the UN international fact-finding mission to comprehensively investigate this heinous crime of poisoning innocent schoolgirls.
