NICOSIA [Cyprus]: Is the mysterious and unexplained wave of schoolgirl poisoning in various Iranian cities, which so far has affected more than 900 girls, a "revenge" attack by extreme Islamists who do not want girls to attend schools, or government supporters who are "avenging" women and girls for the widespread protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, or as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi claims the work of Tehran's enemies?
The first known incident of schoolgirl poisoning occurred on November 30 in the city of Qom, when about 50 students fell ill and were taken to the hospital.
