On the third day of the war between Israel and Iran’s regime (Sunday, June 15, 2025), mutual missile attacks and bombings intensified sharply, and extensive, heavy attacks in Tehran and other Iranian cities significantly heightened public anxiety.
Meanwhile, amidst the news of relentless attacks and bombings, statements by Fatemeh Mohajerani, spokesperson for regime president Masoud Pezeshkian, who spoke of mosques and schools as shelters and safe havens for the worried populace, provoked intense anger and disgust.
Mohajerani stated on state television: “During attacks, naturally, mosques are one of the shelters for the people, and subways are set to be opened tonight and be available to the public, serving them 24 hours a day. We had previously designated schools as safe places. Many schools are recognized as safe locations. Therefore, they are places where people can go to take shelter.”
Regardless of the fact that the mullahs’ regime has turned mosques into centers of repression for the Basij forces, and regardless of the fact that in recent months, Pezeshkian’s Minister of Education spoke of a joint repressive mission in schools with Ahmad Reza Radan, the criminal commander of the repressive State Security Forces, boasting about places like mosques and schools as safe shelters against bombing only demonstrates the nature of an anti-people and utterly inhumane regime.
This regime behavior occurs while the mullahs have spent hundreds of billions of dollars of the oppressed people’s capital on building nuclear sites deep underground and in mountains to protect equipment and facilities related to the atomic bomb production program. This program solely serves to preserve the illegitimate clerical regime, and the mullahs, against the best interests of the people and nation, have pursued it with all its damages, continuing with secrecy and violation of international commitments.
For the mullahs’ regime, protecting nuclear equipment with enormous costs has always been and remains a priority. On the second day of the bombings, Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson for the regime’s Atomic Energy Organization, while emphasizing the security of secret enrichment programs and the relocation of related materials, said: “We had previously moved a significant portion of the equipment and materials out, and there was no widespread damage” (Tabnak news website, June 14, 2025).
