Qazvin

Qazvin, a city in Iran, has recently been the focus of international attention due to a missile strike occurring near a boys' school. CCTV footage released by IRGC-affiliated media captured the event, which reportedly took place during the early days of a conflict. Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the attack. This incident occurs against a backdrop of widespread anti-government protests across Iran, triggered by an economic crisis. These protests have been met with violent clashes between protesters and security forces. Furthermore, the Iranian government is accused of arresting doctors, including a surgeon potentially facing the death penalty, for treating injured protesters, indicating a broader crackdown on dissent and a 'campaign of revenge' according to human rights groups. The events in Qazvin highlight the escalating tensions and instability within Iran.
