Iran's regime poisons school girls and blinds the protestors

[Leilajoon]

There has been mass poisoning in schools of Iran. The targets are school girls. This has been going on for months and hundreds of girl students have been poisoned with some kind of gas. The government doesn't want the news to spread and tried to control it with censorship. Nevertheless, many pictures, clips and reports have found their ways to different media.

The attacks have happened in large scales, in 3 provinces: Tehran, Qom and Lorestan. Some schools were attacked twice, and in one case boys were attacked in a school.

The scope and frequency of attacks on one side, and the lack of motivation for pursuing the perpetrators leads people into believing that the regime is somehow behind this mass poisoning. This may be an act of revenge against the students who largely participated in the recent revolutionary wave or an attempt for suppressing women, hampering their education and forcing them to stay at home.

In another news, witnesses and clues show that the regime has intentionally used shotgun shells containing birdshots to damage and blind the protestors. More than 600 people have been blinded, some in both of their eyes.

Not our issue. The pictures look staged. Not credible.

If it's not your issue, you can just move along.

Of course the pictures are staged. Anyone can see that. It wasn't possible for the victims to pose for photos right after they were hit. so, they took pictures after they received medical assistance.

The thing that is scary about Iran is, this is what the U.S. could someday become, if certain people (including many posters on this very forum!) have their way.

In some respects, Iranian women already have more freedoms than they do in many parts of the U.S. (which is scary, but true.) It is, for example, legal everywhere in Iran to terminate a pregnancy up until the fourth month.

Who told you that? I'm from Iran. Abortion is forbidden in my country. If it happens before the fourth month, it only gets a lighter punishment, nevertheless it's illegal. Both the woman and the person who helps her will be punished if discovered.

We're going to have a national referendum to see if fascism is acceptable again in America in November 2024, assuming Ron "Adolf" DeSantis is the Republican nominee.

The mass poisoning occurred in 3 more provinces. In Ardabil, far from Qom where the poisonings started, the attacks happened in 3 schools simultaneously - another sign which shows this is a large scale plan of the country's intelligence agencies, not some religious fanatics. No one has claimed any responsibility for the attacks, while the terrorists usually magnify and take pride for their actions.

The schools are usually surrounded with plain cloth government agents right after the attacks, who sometimes number in hundreds and won't allow the families to take pictures and gather information. Despite that, in some cases the students, their families and passengers held demonstrations in front of the schools, shouting "Woman - Life - Freedom".

didnt you people welcome the Religious nut back? yes you did. live with it, stop complaining

The mullahs regained power after the Iranian populace got scared after they heard Dubya brand their country as part of the 'axis of evil' and all but threatened to nuke their country. Dubya, like BaBoo and HisRapey, didn't stop to consider that words have meanings and actions have consequences.

Who are you talking about? Khomeini? People didn't knew him back then. Besides, if it wasn't because of the 1953 coup, which was supported by USA, religious fanatics had no chance to advance.

More importantly: You are suggesting the the school girls who were not born in 1979 should be punished because of something they never had any part in it.

What are you talking about? The current regime has been in power since 1979. They never lost the power to regain it.

If you are saying they regained popular support after foreign threats, that is not true too. The population largely puts the blame on the regime because it drags Iran into conflicts which people have no interest in them and makes people pay a high price for it's militarist policy.

go back do something from there, we dont care

Apparently you care very much. This is your third comment in this thread!

Why don't you go home and raise an army, declare "an eye for an eye" and get to work?

Contemporary American reports from 2000-2021 were full of stories about "mullahs power decreasing" (Sample) and I recall stories of Iranian 20-somethings paying exhorbitant amounts of rials for American goods such as blue jeans and Farsi-dubbed videotapes of American movies.

Says the guy who both sympathizes and promotes autocratic, totalitarian regimes around the world- both here in the U.S, AND in Russia, AND Iran.

Fuck off. I'm done being civil with you.

I've been done with your bullshit for a long time now. At least Leliajoon is trying to have an intelligent and informed, reasonable debate. Why the admins have put up with your bullshit for as long as they have, is a mystery. And don't give me this "Freedom of speech" bullshit line either. Because you always come out AGAINST freedom of speech, whenever the speech goes against whichever autocrat (Trump, Putin, DeSantis, Jinping) you currently try to prop up on these forums.

But wrongway is neither intelligent, informed or reasonable....

That is the point. He needs to find a new hobby. Part of that post was a way of explaining to Leliajoon (who is a newer poster whom I really respect and hope will stick around), what a toxic, trolling idiot the guy really is.

That can't be true. Sure, Iranians buy a lot of jeans - blue or other colors, but they are not made in USA. Clothes are usually imported from south or east Asia. No one pays for movies in Iran. There is no copyright, so people just download pirated movies for free.

Wow.

This self-stroking line of phony white-knighting horseshit sure got tossed out the window real quick:

Actually, I do give a shit. I hate yellow-bellied cowards who hurt the innocent or the weaker sex.

Iranian-American activist sounds alarm on suspected poisonings of Iranian schoolgirls​

ABC News|2 hours ago
Iranian authorities have announced an investigation into a series of suspected poison gas attacks on girls' schools. Hundreds of cases of poisonings have been reported among schoolgirls since ...

 

[JohnEngelman]

I hope the Iranian government is unpopular, but I am not sure. From 1965 on there were massive demonstrations against the War in Vietnam. Nevertheless, it was not until about 1971 that public opinion surveys indicated that most Americans thought the War in Vietnam was a mistake. Even then, President Nixon was re elected in a landslide, and the War in Vietnam continued for three more terrible years.
