More on Israel's bombing political prisoners in Evin Prison, Tehran, in a partial rough translation, from "Free Women's Union of Rojhelat [Eastern, Iran-held part of Kurdistan]" (KJAR) one of the theee sibling orgs who brought "Women! Life! Freedom!" to Iran:
─────
This afternoon, on [June 23, 2025], the administrative buildings, courthouse, visitation hall, Infirmary, entrance of Evin Prison, and particularly wards 8 [=political prisoners and prisoners of conscience] and the women's ward getting most damaged.
According to the families present at these wards: "In the women's ward of Evin, the wall, part of the ceiling and windows of the ward have been destroyed. However, in the absence of medical care and failure to transfer the injured to the hospital, there is no complete information regarding the physical and mental health of these prisoners."
Additionally, in ward 8, despite some prisoners being injured, the prison guards attacked the prisoners, preventing them from escaping the horrifying situation.
Furthermore, according to some reports (which require confirmation from the families of these prisoners), detainees from the security ward 209 were transferred to a location outside the prison.

Israel bombed in particular the heroes of the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-uprisings.

Video showing the Red Crescent rescuing people after Israel bombed around the Red Crescent's building in Tehran.

In a separate video I saw a person under a lot of concrete rubble being dug out and at least apparently surviving.

IRIB is regime media and should be treated with extreme caution, but the video is without commentary and of an otherwise already known event.

More on Israel's recent "Bombardment targets Evin Prison in Tehran", including that "Some social media accounts report that prisoners were injured. Parts of the wall and ceiling of the women's wing reportedly collapsed.",
where "Journalists, human rights defenders, political activists, and opponents of the regime are held in Evin Prison, which is notorious for serious human rights violations.

There are many female political prisoners currently imprisoned in Evin, including Pakshan Azizi, Warisha Moradi, Mahboubeh Rezaei, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi. Additionally, many male detainees who have been convicted of political crimes are also being held there."

The incompetence of the US VP JD keeps baffling.
Now claims the State USA is "not at war with Iran – we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear programme" theguardian.com/world/live/202… which is not a thing that is possible.
The definition of when a war between States starts is when the first bullet, other missile (what to do in the case of hostile Internet-packets is still being debated by scholars and other experts) or military force passes the border without invitation from the de jure (or by modernized definitions also other de facto) territory holder.
Unless USA had an invitation from the Iran-theocracy to come bomb, then USA is at war, committed an act of war of aggression, crime against peace, and is as a result at war until diplomatic resolution of one form or another is achieved.

A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units.
States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse".
It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.

no now the US government targeting cubism

Jokes aside, abstract concepts, even though such abstraction can be quite problematic too, the person who should have known that acts deliberately ignorant.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) now:
─────
The intensification and spread of major military operations in the Middle East risk engulfing the region—and the world—in a war with irreversible consequences.

The world cannot absorb limitless war. Upholding international humanitarian law is not a choice—it is an obligation.

Civilians must be spared from the conduct of hostilities. Medical personnel and first responders must be allowed to carry out their lifesaving work safely. This includes our colleagues at the Iranian Red Crescent Society. It also includes those at Magen David Adom.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has delegations in both Iran and Israel and is mobilising teams and supplies to scale up to address increasing needs—but no humanitarian response can substitute for political will to prioritise peace, stability and human life.

Statement from ICRC president on the escalation of major military operations in the Middle East

^{International Committee of the Red Cross}

'Five more Kurds arrested in Iran [...] without a court order and no information has been obtained regarding the fate of those affected.
[...]
A wave of arrests has been taking place in Iran in recent days. According to the same sources, at least 151 people have been detained on “security” grounds in Eastern [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan and various cities across Iran in the last three days alone.'
anfenglish.com/kurdistan/five-…
This extremely probably is directly related to the governments of Israel and USA's war attacking the government of Iran, as Netanyahu and Gang have been once again striving to baselessly connect the antiauthoritarian feminist antiracist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-movement and related to their authoritarian sexist racist regime, which they must have known would only result in falsely legitimizing further persecution by the Iran-theocracy, as Netanyahu and fellow world "leaders" statements to same effect had that outcome previously too. It therefore seems probable that this is intentional and may be for the purpose of disabling the antiauthoritarian movements from resistance when Israel and USA intend to impose their replacement regime, which is likely the restoration of the Shah.

The place stated as "Sine" in the article is more widely known as Sanandaj.

Criminal president Trump of USA in violation of both international theguardian.com/world/live/202… and domestic (constitutional) law theguardian.com/world/live/202… directly bombed Iran at 02:30 using a dozen B-2 stealth bombers dropping GBU-57 bombs at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow (where the video of the event reportedly is from).
There was no congressional approval and no casus belli.

This further increases the risk of global hot war for everyone and the risk for every entity in some way associable with USA in particular,
but since primarily USA's Republican party elite have been cheering and literally singing and for war with Iran for decades, they don't care about the constitution they so often claim to have read but instead just cheer theguardian.com/world/live/202… the now very plausible new "forever-war".
At least Bush had fraudulent authorization, at least pretended.

Note, the Iran-theocracy is despicable, murderously oppressive, racist and sexist. This has absolutely nothing to do with that.
State vs State war is never a good thing.

"In wars between nation-states, it is societies, and particularly women and children, that pay the heaviest price. The conflict between Israel and Iran is no exception. [...]

It must be emphasised that this war is not a war for the liberation of societies, especially for women. The demands of the people, particularly women, are not part of Israel's or Iran's agendas. Representatives of nation-states chanting slogans such as 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadî' (Woman, Life, Freedom) cannot herald freedom or promise a beautiful future for society, especially when they lack a genuine understanding of the importance of women's struggles.
[...]
KJAR emphasises the importance of organising and building grassroots strength in pursuit of freedom for society, and especially for women. Amid a war of authoritarian powers and patriarchal systems, KJAR stresses that there is no glimmer of light, freedom, or equality."
anfenglish.com/women/kjar-the-…
KJAR is the "Free Women's Union of Rojhelat", where Rojhelat is the Eastern, Iran-held, part of Kurdistan.
They are one of the three organizations that brought the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-slogan with its antiauthoritarianism and feminism there from whence it spread through all Iran and became the main slogan of the most recent antiauthoritarian uprisings against the theocracy.

KJAR: The democratic struggle of women will lead to freedom, not war between nation-states

In a statement regarding the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, the East Kurdistan Free Women’s Society (KJAR) emphasized that wars between nation-states are not a path to freedom for societies....

"Yes! Yes! Pick me! Pick me! Make me King!", desperately screams the person who has almost no support at all domestically but almost exclusively by people who fled when the oppressive torturer elitist regime now up for potential "restoration" fled, now suddenly finding Netanyahu and Trump may restore the old oppressor because that oppressor also had oppression enforcement collaboration agreements with Israel, in spite of the people rejecting Israel's occupation of Palestine back then too, back when it was in power.

Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has responded to reports of a ceasefire with Israel, saying in a post on X.

'As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.'

Part 2 of 2 of collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation:
─────
Outside the prison, all routes leading to Evin have been completely blocked, and families are prevented from entering. Nevertheless, some families, despite the danger, have gathered in front of Evin Prison to learn about the fate of their loved ones.

We, the defenseless prisoners under siege, declare: In the face of bombardment, we had neither shelter nor an escape route; and in the face of the organized crime that has cast a shadow over our bodies, lives, and dignity for years, there is no shield left.

We appeal to the people, families, activists, and awakened consciences:
Do not remain silent.
Gather immediately in front of Evin Prison to save our lives.
We are injured, threatened, and may lose our lives at any moment.

Collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation,
part 1 of 2:
─────
Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.

Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.

The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.

Meanwhile, instead of providing aid, security forces and prison guards have heavily secured the prison by deploying extensively in the wards, creating a highly secure environment. Threats, intimidation, and pressure on prisoners have increased, and we are facing double repression.
