A thread on poisoning of female students in #Qom, Iran 🧵

1- poisoning cases started 3 months ago, Nov 30 to be exact. They’ve reported in a dozen high schools where female students study. It’s estimated some 150 students visited hospitals, with almost half hospitalized. ImageImage
2- Students who visited hospitals were complaining of headache, vomiting, chest pain, dizziness, faster then normal breathing, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure.
The case didn’t limit to #Qom, with similar incidents reported in Brujerd, Lorestan prov, far-away from Qom.
3- Acc. to media, the poisoning cases in Brujerd took place in several female high schools, a female elementary school and (to the surprise of many!) a male high school. The number of poisoned girls in Brujerd is over 250.

4- The students who talked to media in Brujerd- but not in Qom- say they smelt strong odor, like bleach-cleaner just before feeling dizziness and faint. Some speak of the odor similar to tangerine or mint.
5- Officials at first tried to downplay the incidents to panic attacks & stress, but with numbers increasing they sent security investigators & toxicologists to both #Qom , #Brujerd. Toxicologists reportedly haven’t found any traces of chemical agents or gases. Image
6- #Iran’s Judiciary says investigations not reached any clues. A female MP though says they found clues but didn’t share with media. A health ministry official earlier claimed incidents were the work of “those who don’t want girls to study”. But he later withdrew his claim. Image
6- Some Iranian media claim poisoning cases are also reported in Tehran, Shiraz and Ardebil. But these reports are still unconfirmed.

Iranian diaspora opposition is furious with #Switzerland ambassador to #Iran.
Nadine Olivieri Lozano wore a chador (black veil covering head to toe) while visiting the Shrine of Sayyida Ma’asuma in #Qom. It’s a norm to wear a chador when visiting shrines in #Iran & #Iraq. ImageImageImageImage
Wearing a chador is exactly what the UN special Representative for Iraq does. Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert wears a black veil each time and every time she meets with Grand Ayatollah Sistani in Najaf or when she visited the Imam Hussein Shrine in Karbala. ImageImageImageImage
The Iranian opposition can’t tolerate seeing a women wearing chador inside a holy shrine, (as it is required) , I wonder how come they want to bring freedom to all women of Iran, religious or non-religious??

۱- سازمان ملل یک گزارش داده در مورد اینکه رهبر جدید القاعده سیف العدل طبق گمانه زنی ها در ایران به سر می برد. البته سازمان ملل گزارشش را از روی اطلاعات داده شده توسط کشورهای خاص (بخوانید امریکا) تهیه کرده. امریکا هم گفته بله سیف العدل در ایران است. thenationalnews.com/mena/iran/2023…
۲- نمایندگی ایران در سازمان ملل توییت زده‌ نخیر، آدرس اشتباه دادید، بدون اینکه وارد جزییات بشود. ولی واقعیت اینست که اعضای القاعده و خانواده آنها بعد از حمله امریکا به افغانستان به ایران فرار کردند. بعلاوه نفر دوم القاعده، عبدالله احمد عبدالله یا ابو محمد المصری در تهران کشته شد.
۳- ابومحمد المصری همراه با دخترش مریم تابستان ۱۳۹۹ توسط ۲ ضارب موتور سوار کشته شد. بعدا شنیدم هنگامی که با ماشینش از پارکینگ خانه بیرون می آمدند هدف ضاربان قرار گرفتند که از ته کوچه فرار کردند. همسر و ۲ دختر دیگر المصری همان شب از آن خانه بیرون برده شدند و فقط یک بار برگشتند.

A quick thread about Friday’s attack on #Azerbaijan Republic embassy in Tehran, #Iran.

1- First and foremost it was the result of a family feud. So, all Azerbaijan’s claims of calling it “a terrorist attach” are pure nonsense. Image
2- The assailant who attacked #Azerbaijan Republic embassy is an Iranian Tork/Turk. Yassin Hossein-Zadeh is from #Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. He wanted to take a revenge from the embassy, given that he thought the embassy helped his Azerbaijani wife to return to Baku. ImageImageImage
3- Yassin’s Azerbaijani wife Gulnar, who married him nearly 24 yrs ago, left home in March. The assailant filed a missing complaint about her. But found that she travelled to Tehran and #Azerbaijan Republic embassy, where the embassy helped her and two relatives to leave Iran.

1- A video recorded by the body cam of a Law Enforcement Force (or maybe a Basij force) shows the events that happened WED Nov 16, in #Izeh, where 7 ppl incld. security forces and a 9 yr-old kid were killed.
The kid’s mother claims Iranian security forces killed her child.
2- from the conversations in the video we notice security forces have plastic bullets, they shout at the passing cars to make a u-turn and not to drive further. They also call for Kalashnikovs to be sent to them (as other side/rioters are armed and we hear sounds of bullets)
3- in the middle of conversation a security force comes and says several forces have been shot dead.
It seems the car where the kid and his family were inside, is one of those who continue driving without paying attention to the warning shouts.
