Evin Prison Airstrikes Spark Outrage Across Iran

The recent missile strikes on Iran's Evin prison have intensified public anger, even among regime critics, transforming it into a focal point of resistance against Israel.


The deadly airstrikes on Evin prison on June 23 resulted in significant casualties and widespread condemnation within Iran, marking a pivotal moment in public sentiment. The attack has galvanized both supporters and opponents of the Iranian government, uniting them in outrage against Israeli actions.



On June 23, Israel launched a deadly missile assault on Iran’s infamous Evin prison, provoking a wave of anger and condemnation from various factions within the country, including those outside the regime. Known for its harrowing legacy of torture and oppression, Evin prison has become emblematic of the Iranian authorities' brutality over the last five decades.

Devastation from the airstrikes was apparent everywhere—from the rubble of the visitor center to the shattered remnants of the infirmary, which housed injured patients alongside administration offices. Reports indicate that at least 79 individuals lost their lives in the attack, which includes family members visiting inmates, medical professionals, and young soldiers. However, as death tolls continue to rise amid ongoing assessments, the true impact of this assault is still being realized.

The airstrike marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, now in its second week. While Israeli forces have not publicly addressed the operation, the reaction within Iran has been explosive, uniting voices from differing stands against the common enemy perceived to be Israel.

The fallout of the strike extends beyond just the destruction of property; it has ignited a new wave of dissent against both external aggressors and the domestic regime. Evin prison, long synonymous with suffering, has now morphed into a rallying symbol for those opposing foreign intervention and local oppression alike.
