\"FoxNews-logo\"<\/p>\n

National Security Adviser\u00a0Jake Sullivan says that the\u00a0Iranian missile attack on Israel<\/a>\u00a0was “defeated and ineffective” and that the\u00a0U.S. military\u00a0coordinated with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to repel the strikes.<\/p>\n

Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles towards targets in Israel on Tuesday, Sullivan said at a Tuesday White House briefing, noting the move was a “significant escalation.”<\/p>\n

The strikes were in response to the deaths of\u00a0Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, Iran says. The move comes after weeks of Israeli strikes against Tehran\u2019s proxies in the region.<\/p>\n

School Safety Crisis in Iran: Dilapidated Buildings and Neglect Put Students at Risk<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The deteriorating state of schools in Iran has become a critical issue, with years of neglect leaving students exposed to serious safety risks. Despite ongoing discussions about closing unsafe and overcrowded schools, little progress has been made.<\/p>\n

Many schools have outlived their structural lifespan, and incidents such as fires and collapsing walls continue to endanger students. Even private schools operating in old residential buildings lack sufficient safety measures. While the authorities are aware of these problems, economic challenges and persistent neglect have prevented any meaningful action from being taken.<\/p>\n

Years ago, the government promised to demolish worn-out schools, but these pledges have gone unfulfilled. Worse still, some schools are now facing issues of ground subsidence, further compromising their stability.<\/p>\n

September 2024 Monthly Report \u2013 Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM)<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM) has endeavored in its monthly report to provide an overview of the human rights situation in Iran for the month of September 2024. However, given that the judiciary in Iran continues to extensively employ executions as the most ruthless and inhumane form of punishment, the focus of this report is on executions and death sentences in Iran.<\/p>\n

Based on the statistics recorded by the Center for Statistics and Documentation of Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM), and with extensive research conducted in this area, the final number of executions in September 2024 has been obtained. Although we emphasize that the actual figures are significantly higher, as most executions in Iran are carried out without media coverage and in media silence.<\/p>\n
