After a week after the catastrophic explosion on Sat. Apri 26, at Bandar Abbas, flames continue to rise from the ruins of Sina Company—a facility linked to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The warehouse reportedly stored hazardous materials, and its explosion has become one of the deadliest industrial disasters in Iran’s history. Firefighters still cannot approach the core of the blast site, and the regime has released no official death toll. Eyewitnesses report that in one neighboring company alone, 50 female employees are missing. Hospitals are overwhelmed with hundreds of severely injured patients. One witness recounts that 23 of 30 women at her workplace were killed—some disfigured beyond recognition, others suffering severe injuries or dismemberment. Independent estimates put the death toll between 600 and 1,000, but the Iranian regime has downplayed the disaster, officially claiming only 70 deaths. The Ministry of Health has reportedly been banned from releasing the true figures. Many bodies remain buried under debris, while extreme heat from the flames prevents rescue operations. https://tinyurl.com/whn6evhk

In a move that has sparked outrage among civil society and human rights advocates, Iranian state media reported on April 20, that a new agreement has been signed between Iran’s Chief of Police (The State Security Force), AhmadReza Radan, and the Minister of Education, Alireza Kazemi. The memorandum, grants the SSF new authority within the education system, allowing them to enforce Mandatory hijab regulations in schools. At the signing ceremony, Education Minister Alireza Kazemi openly pledged allegiance to the notorious police chief, referring to himself as a “proud soldier” of Radan. Kazemi described violation of “hijab and chastity” as cultural “threats” that require targeted educational and cultural interventions. Ahmad Reza Radan—who has been sanctioned by the European Union, the United States, and Canada for gross human rights violations—declared that cooperation between the SSF and the Education Ministry was insufficient. “If we assume this collaboration is enough, we will fall into a third negligence—and once again, be caught off guard,” he warned ominously. https://tinyurl.com/c6xfkpms
