On the 208th day of Iran's nationwide uprising, the regime's agents continued and expanded their latest wave of chemical gas attacks on innocent schoolgirls. Dozens of schoolgirls have been taken to hospital for emergency medical treatment for poisoning.  

According to the human rights organisation Hengaw, Khadijeh Kobra High School in the northwestern Iranian city of Oshnavieh was the target of a chemical gas attack by regime agents on Tuesday. Several students were poisoned. 

Other chemical gas attacks were reported on Tuesday: 

• Fahmideh Girls School in Kamyaran, Kurdistan province, western Iran. 
• Amir Kabir School (boys), Al-Yasin School (girls), Hazrate Masoumeh School (girls), Masoud Bagheri School (girls) and Manouchehr Ansari School (girls) in Shahin Shahr, Isfahan province, central Iran. 
• School of the Islamic Republic in Tabriz, northwestern Iran 
• Iranegan High School for Girls in Urmia, northwestern Iran 
• Shayan School for Girls in Isfahan, central Iran 
• Maryam School and Shima Moradi Elementary School for Girls in Kermanshah, western Iran 
• Hazrate Zeynab School for Girls in Bandar Ganaveh, southern Iran 
• Kamal Dehghan School for Girls in Karaj, west of Tehran, Iran 
• Ahmadiyeh School for Girls in Borujerd, western Iran 
• Several schools in the Parsabad district of Moghan, northeast Iran. 

Also according to Hengaw, at least 60 students were poisoned in a chemical gas attack on the Danesh Pezhuhan Girls School in Kermanshah, western Iran. They have been transferred to nearby medical centres and two of the poisoned students are reportedly in critical condition. 

In the city of Kamyaran, Kurdistan province, students reported smelling rotten eggs in a school targeted by the chemical gas attacks today. Several students were hospitalised in the town. 

Regime agents launched another chemical gas attack in Shahin Shahr, this time targeting Manouchehr Ansari, Al-Yasin and Tolu high schools. According to students at the scene, the authorities closed the doors of the school for about an hour after the chemical gas attack. No ambulance came to the school to help, and regime Red Crescent officials did nothing. The students say that only the teachers helped the students flee the scene, and then the authorities kept some of the senior teachers inside the school. 

Iranian Resistance leader Maryam Rajavi condemned the regime's "cruelty and demagoguery", adding: "The regime's depravity in perpetuating this terrible crime is particularly appalling in light of the holy month of Ramadan ....". Khamenei, the mullahs' bloodthirsty supreme leader, has crossed a new threshold of cruelty and demagoguery in his desperate attempt to stifle dissent and prevent protests in Iran. His efforts will be in vain, however, as Iranian women, girls and youth have vowed to rise up and overthrow this brutal regime".
