Iranian Intelligence rules out school poisonings and points to a case of “collective hysteria”

28 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –

Iranian Intelligence has published this Friday the results of an investigation into the alleged poisonings in girls’ schools, denying that toxic materials were spread and alleging that it is a case of “collective hysteria”.

The Government of Iran assured in mid-March that it had arrested more than a hundred people linked to the alleged poisoning of female students in several schools in the country, an action that Tehran considered a plot orchestrated by “enemy” countries.

However, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security has assured that no traces of chemicals have been found in the schools and that the reported cases are due to “collective hysteria”, a hypothesis that, according to Iranian Intelligence, has already been proposed by “highly reputable psychologists and physicians.”

“Mass panic (mass hysteria) is a form of disorder that usually begins with one person and spreads rapidly to a group of people. This disorder occurs when people in a community are simultaneously affected by a stressful stimulus,” he said. it’s a statement.

Iranian Intelligence details that one of the symptoms of hysteria is the perception of odors in the environment and has also explained that those people who were treated for the “attacks” after suffering nausea with oxygen, serum and sedatives presented a clear improvement.

“Like all scandals favored or produced by foreigners, in the case of the alleged poisonings, after the intense Western media war, officials, diplomats and international organizations entered into this story,” he sentenced.

The Iranian health authorities confirmed in March more than 13,000 people affected in provinces such as Khuzestan, Tehran, Urmia, Hamedan, Qazvin, Saqez, Dezful, Ardabil or Qom, where the first cases were detected.

Both the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the president, Ebrahim Raisi, considered these incidents months ago as part of a conspiracy orchestrated from abroad within the framework of anti-government protests after the death of the young Mahsa Amini.
