Suspect poisons hundreds of schoolgirls in Iran, possibly to close classrooms for girls seeking an education
Fox News
Hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls across multiple schools were poisoned by fumes wafting into classrooms. Authorities believe the suspect wants to stop girls from seeking an education.
The reported attacks come at a sensitive time for Iran, which already has faced months of protests after the September death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest by the country's morality police.
The authorities have not named suspects, but the attacks have raised fears that other girls could be poisoned apparently just for seeking an education — something that's never been challenged before in the over 40 years since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iran itself also has been calling on the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan to have girls and women return to school.
