**Iran Accuses Israel of Killing 71 in Evin Prison Air Strike**
**Tehran, Iran** – The Iranian judiciary has announced that an Israeli air strike on Tehran’s Evin Prison during the recent conflict resulted in the deaths of at least 71 people. The strike, which occurred on Monday, the day before a ceasefire took effect between Iran and Israel, targeted the administrative building of the heavily fortified prison complex.
According to judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir, the victims included prison staff, guards, inmates, visiting family members, and nearby residents. He stated that the attack, which occurred as part of Israel’s bombardment campaign launched on June 13, specifically targeted Evin’s medical center and visiting rooms.
Evin Prison is known to house political prisoners and foreign nationals, including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi and several French citizens. Following the attack, Iranian authorities reportedly transferred inmates from the prison, although the number and identities of those transferred were not disclosed.
This announcement marks a significant escalation in the accusations leveled against Israel following the 12-day conflict. The Israeli government has not yet issued a statement regarding the alleged attack on Evin Prison. This incident is likely to further strain the already tense relationship between the two nations and could impact future diplomatic efforts.
