Israel blows gates off Iran’s notorious Evin Prison

Israeli forces blew up the gates of Iran’s notorious Evin Prison and struck government buildings across Tehran on Monday in the most direct assault on Iran’s capital since the war began. Projectiles hit the prison, which houses Iran’s political prisoners, causing damage to parts of it and raising the possibility that dissidents may have been able to escape. The gates were destroyed in the strike, although Iranian officials said the situation was “currently under control.” #iran #trump #war
