  1. All religions are the same it was man who changed it to fit the needs of there own people.

  2. How were they poisoned ?!!!

  3. Its amazing how conversation changes from Iranian girls being poisoned in schools to getting closer to build a nuclear weapon ⁉️😂😜

  4. Iran regime should be held responsible

  5. The tyrant Ali Khamenei is increasingly poisoning, torturing and executing innocent civilians and children amid global wide protests – which is unacceptable. Hence it's imperative to overthrow the evil regime so that Basic Human Rights can be restored in Iran – so that Persia can once again be the Pearl of the Orient She is destined to be.

  6. Could it be possible that these girls made a deal to poison themselves and exaggerate the symptom just to blame it on the government to destroy it?

  7. "See, wmd's! We must illegally invade them for their resources…I mean for freedom and democracy!"

  8. State Department asks Iranian government to investigate issues. Interesting.

  9. Enough is enough !!!! It is really on time we support human rights and democracy in Iran !!!!

  10. Good LORD !!! Clueless news
    Israel and Iran are on the edge of war as Iran gets closer to nuke rich uranium.
    What are we talking about here?????

  11. Could even be another act of america.

  12. US regime is behind this to blame democratic gvt of Iran.

  13. More western propaganda

  14. What this lacks is HOW they are being poisoned.

  15. Their religion is extra real in their minds

  16. Usa do this long live khomeini

  17. Yes this sound like totally plausible. Iranian authorities are after calming the riots in Iran now going to cause mass-hysteria by enacting some kind of "revenge" against school-girls. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  18. Islam is Dead in Iran

  19. they'll never reach weapons grade… Israel wont ever let that happen… i suspect the us will help Israel stop it as well..

  20. The government is trying to look less guilty

  21. IRANIAN EXPERT !!!! , …She is clueless ! 🤢🤮

  22. How dare these leaders use religion to cover their complete control of their daughters mothers it all comes down to MENTAL/PHYSICAL ABUSE!!! THEIR BROTHERS AND SONS SHOULD STAND UP FOR THEIR MOTHERS SISTERS DAUTHERS IT IS ABOUT TIME THEY STOP THIS SH….!!!!!

  23. If you poison all the girls who’s going to have the baby?!

  24. And Iran doesn’t need to poison them,
    They can have them shot or stoned to death, Islamic Fascists.. so I doubt this story.

  25. Look how NBC is all over this story because it involves “ women”
    The same women who hate Americans and would side with their Muslim oppressors then Americans.
    They don’t care about you or your feminism, they are fighting for themselves, they HATE you.
    That’s how it is.

  26. They’re in the Stone Age lmao

  27. My god. If the suspicions raised are true, Iranian men must be real cowards. Afraid of little girls, good grief.

  28. I support the Iranian Government taking this female-threat seriously.

  29. Iraan is at our back door step and Brazil do you know that two of their warships were parked in Brazil

  30. Praying for all those people out there new Iran you are fighting against the regime

  31. This goes against everything the Prophet Muhammad pbuh taught. Just as American evangelicals violate the teachings of Jesus with their filthy bigotry, greed,lies, and the evildoers they blindly support.

  32. Women and girls have always tried to poison men and boys ,so I am not surprised this has come back on them.What comes around goes around.
