US State Department Spokesperson: A fact-finding commission should investigate the poisonings
Ned Price, the spokesperson for the US State Department, stated that if it is determined that the chain poisonings are related to the protests by women and girls, then the United Nations is obligated to send a fact-finding commission to Iran to investigate these poisonings.
For nearly four months, hundreds of students, mostly girls, in schools across various cities in Iran have been hospitalized with symptoms of poisoning.
Despite increasing concerns from families, no decision has been made to switch schools to remote learning.
The US State Department spokesperson said the world is closely monitoring events in Iran, and despite Iran’s efforts to prevent information from reaching the rest of the world, we have been able to see these reports and videos and hear firsthand accounts. I think it will become clear to the world what is happening in Iran. If this information continues to come from Iran, we will pay attention to it and demand appropriate and suitable actions in that regard.
