💨 Abstract

On June 23, 2025, an Israeli airstrike on Tehran's Evin prison resulted in at least 71 deaths, including inmates, staff, and families. The attack occurred a day before a ceasefire with Iran, which was overshadowed by a subsequent Iranian strike on a U.S. base in Qatar. The prison, known for holding political dissidents, saw significant damage to key facilities.
