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.

The Iranian government is focusing on public concerns and maintaining stable supplies of essential goods amid recent protests, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a televised interview on Sunday.

In the city of Karaj, northwest of the capital Tehran, daily life has largely continued as normal. A video filmed by a local resident on Sunday shows food stores open and grocery shelves fully stocked.

"This is the block near my home, and there are some food stores here. Daily life continues here. Last night we did not see many protests in Karaj. Right now the city is very safe. This is a grocery store close to my home. All the food is available; nothing is in shortage. Here are noodles and different types of beans. Here are dairy products, cheese, and yogurt. I also checked other grocery stores and didn't see any shortages. Everything is available," said local resident Ali Reza.

Iranian officials have described recent disturbances as acts orchestrated by the "enemy," including some carried out by well-trained and armed "terrorists." The incidents have caused casualties among security personnel and civilians, as well as property damage.

The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani has directed authorities to severely punish the "terrorists."

Meanwhile, Iran's police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said on Sunday that the police had raised alert levels and arrested several leaders of the troublemakers during the operations on Saturday.

President Pezeshkian noted in the interview that the normal demands of the Iranian people are reasonable and justified, but they must realize that triggering riots and carrying out terrorist acts are the enemy's attempts to undermine the country. He urged the public to remain vigilant.

Also on Sunday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that Tehran would regard U.S. and Israeli bases and facilities in the Middle East as "legitimate targets" if Washington takes military action against Iran. His remarks followed media reports saying U.S. President Donald Trump is "seriously considering authorizing a strike" against Iran.

Iranian state media reported that at least 109 members of Iran's security forces have been killed in clashes since the protests began 14 days ago. Meanwhile, human rights groups based outside the country said the number of protesters killed has exceeded 200, though the figure could not be independently verified.

The protests initially erupted over a sharp depreciation of the rial and sweeping subsidy reforms. Iranian authorities have blamed the unrest on foreign-linked agents and sanctions imposed by the United States.
