Iran Protests: The national student union in Iran asserted that 1,200 university students had food poisoning and expressed doubt about the timing of the occurrence because it occurred just one day before a planned demonstration against the ruling regime.
According to reports, the pupils who had food poisoning had nausea, physical pain, and excruciating headaches.
Uninfected students have chosen to refrain from dining in cafeterias because of the health issuess of students at Kharazmi and Ark universities as well as those in at least four other universities.
Officials assume that waterborne bacteria caused these ailments, but the student union claims that they were poisoned on purpose.
They wrote on Telegram, “Our past experiences of similar incidents at Isfahan University negate the authorities’ reason for this mass food poisoning.”

According to Arab News, some university clinics shut down or ran out of resources to treat dehydration, fuelling belief that the outbreak was intended to put an end to the three-day strike in retaliation for the Iranian regime’s assertions that it had dismantled the contentious morality police.
The controversial morality police unit in Iran has been abolished, according to Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, Iran’s prosecutor general.

About anti-government protests
A major anti-government protest has broken out in Iran as a result of the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was taken into custody by vice squads on September 16 in Tehran and was pronounced dead three days later.
The young woman was detained by Iran’s moral police, officially known as the Gasht-e-Ershad or “Guidance Patrol,” for violating the country’s stringent dress code and for wearing her hijab incorrectly. Since the unit’s establishment in 2006, women have disliked its patrols.
