The Iranian schoolgirls mass poisoning incident was a series of chemical attacks on students in dozens of schools across Iran. It began in November 2022, at the Isfahan University of Technology, with reports of thousands of students being poisoned in the following months. The scientific committee of the Ministry of Health of Iran believes a "primarily inhaled stimulant" was used in these poisonings. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, demanded severe punishment for the perpetrators. Amnesty International accused the Islamic Republic of seeking to punish schoolgirls for refusing to wear the mandatory hijab. Mass psychogenic illness (MPI) was cited as one explanation, while others claimed the Iranian government was targeting the girls for removing their mandatory hijab.
