Student poisonings occurred on March 11, 12, and 13 in Iranian provinces that saw significant protest activity during the #MahsaAmini protest movement. #مسمومیت_دانش_آموزان
Iranian public figures continue to suggest that the regime or regime-adjacent actors are in some way responsible for the poisoning campaign primarily targeting schoolgirls in recent months.

It's such a big and bold geopolitical move in an extremely sensitive time. Let's wait and see how things will unfold.

Over 110 separate student poisonings were reported throughout #Iran on March 6. Some have framed these incidents as “mass hysteria.” They’re not. Someone is deliberately poisoning Iranian children—we’re just not sure who. (1)
#مسمومیت_دانش_آموزان
#مسمومیت_دانش_آموزان
Hundreds of students—primarily #IranianSchoolgirls--reported chemical attacks in recent weeks, especially since March 1. Their symptoms include nausea, chest pain, numbness of limbs, and more. (2)
bbc.com/news/world-mid…
bbc.com/news/world-mid…
Some have compared these recent reports to previous instances of “mass sociogenic illnesses,” in which presenting symptoms are caused by anxiety rather than—in this case—chemical attacks. (3)

theguardian.com/world/2023/mar…
Reports suggest that chemical poisonings occurred in 116 separate schools--primarily girls' schools--in #Iran today. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario wherein the regime isn’t complicit in failing to protect these children. Here’s why: (1)
#مسمومیت_دانشآموزان
#مسمومیت_دانشآموزان
Officials have blamed the poisonings on foreign actors. Others have suggested the attacks were the work of domestic groups who either aimed to punish girls sympathetic to the #Mahsa_Amini movement or sought to discourage girls from going to school. (2)

reuters.com/world/middle-e…
It's unclear why--if foreign actors are indeed behind ongoing poisonings--the regime has not deployed the surveillance and security capabilities that it used to violently suppress protests during the #Mahsa_Amini movement to protect Iranian girls. (3)
The #Iranian regime has apparently failed to take measures to protect schools following 46 separate reports of chemical poisonings on March 1. Here's what else you need to know today from CTP and @TheStudyofWar: criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-…

The regime is taking short-term measures to address economic grievances that will likely exacerbate #Iran’s economic crisis in the long run.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir #Abdollahian gave an interview with #CNN on March 1 likely in an attempt to convince the United States to return to the suspended nuclear negotiations.
