Regime operatives in Iran have launched a new wave of chemical gas attacks on innocent schoolgirls, leading to a surge in protests across the country.

Dozens of students have been taken to hospitals for urgent medical care for poisonings, prompting public outrage at the atrocities of the mullahs’ dictatorship against the country’s population. According to sources from the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), protests have expanded to at least 282 cities, resulting in over 750 deaths and more than 30,000 arrests by the regime’s forces. The MEK Resistance Units portrayed images of Iranian Resistance Leader Massoud Rajavi and opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi in the city of Rasht, northern Iran.

Reports indicate that several schools have been targeted in chemical gas attacks. In the city of Oshnavieh, northwest Iran, the all-girls Khadijeh Kobra High School was attacked, leaving several students suffering from poisoning. Similarly, in Kermanshah, western Iran, the all-girls “Danesh Pezhuhan School” was targeted, with at least 60 students poisoned and two in critical condition. In Kamyaran, Kurdistan Province, students reported smelling something similar to rotten eggs at a school that was targeted, resulting in several hospitalizations.

Furthermore, reports from Shahin Shahr indicate that all the city’s hospitals and medical centers are filled with students poisoned in chemical gas attacks, with facilities running critically short on oxygen tanks for patients. At least ten schools in the city alone were targeted in chemical gas attacks by regime operatives.

Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) condemned the regime’s “cruelty and demagoguery” as the mullahs continue their campaign aimed at silencing the Iranian people and quelling their nationwide uprising. More than 1,300 students and school faculty have been taken to hospitals with signs of poisoning, according to the regime’s Etemad daily, with no official pathology or samples reports available.

Today, the clerical regime has launched more #IranChemicalAttacks on innocent schoolgirls in multiple cities, including Shahinshahr, Kermanshah, Isfahan, Urmia, Tabriz, and Bandar Genaveh. The regime's depravity in continuing this horrific crime is especially appalling given the…

Protests and strikes have taken place across the country, with store owners and bazaar merchants in the city of Saqqez boycotting their shops, while teachers and students boycotted their classes in protest. The mullahs’ dictatorship is deliberately targeting all-girls schools with chemical gas attacks to prevent a new rise in anti-regime protests, but it is a significant risk as it could result in a new eruption of anger among the Iranian people.

The world is watching the regime’s actions and is calling for an end to their inhumane attacks on schoolgirls. It is vital for the international community to stand in solidarity with the Iranian people in their fight against the brutal regime.
