Footage reveals extensive damage to Tehran’s Evin Prison following Israeli strike

Exclusive footage obtained by China Media Group reveals extensive destruction at Evin Prison in the Iranian capital Tehran following an Israeli attack on June 23, which claimed at least 71 lives.

The footage shows severely damaged walls and ceilings, with debris, including shattered glass, scattered across the prison grounds.

During the attack, multiple missiles hit the facility, causing significant damage. In the aftermath, all inmates were relocated to other prisons in Tehran.

Asghar Jahangir, spokesman for Iran's judiciary, confirmed on Sunday that the strike killed at least 71 people, including prison staff, conscripts, jailed convicts, visiting family members, and residents of nearby buildings.

Jahangir said that by its "terrorist and brutal" attack on the prison, Israel once again proved its lack of commitment to international law. He noted that the sections of the infirmary, technical and engineering division, and the visitation area in the prison complex were also targeted.

He branded the attack as an "all-out crime," saying that the nearby buildings had sustained heavy damage and their residents suffered severe injuries.

On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on different areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and many civilians. Iran responded by launching several waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel.

After 12 days of fighting, a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was reached on 24th.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside Bulgaria's Ministry of Defense on Friday night to protest U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and demand that U.S. military aircraft leave Bulgaria.

The protesters carried banners reading "Bulgaria says no to war! We want peace, not death!" and "Yankee, go home!" to voice opposition to what they described as an illegal invasion and to the presence of U.S. military forces in Bulgaria.

"We have gathered here to express our opinion that what the United States has launched is an illegal invasion," said Grigorova, a protester.

Several U.S. military planes have been deployed at Sofia Airport since February. Although the Bulgarian Ministry of Defense has denied that they were linked to U.S. military operations against Iran, saying they were deployed to provide logistical support for NATO operations, some Bulgarians remain concerned that this could drag their country into war.

The U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28 launched strikes against Iran, plunging the war-torn Middle East into a new round of violence. Iran has retaliated with a series of counterattacks against Israel and U.S. targets across the region.
