Iran's detainees in 'unbearable' conditions after Israeli strikes on prison
Prison strike follows series of Israeli attacks
The Iranian foreign ministry has criticized the conditions of prisoners following strikes near the Israeli border that resulted in the capture of dozens of Iranian soldiers, with one official calling the situation "unbearable." The strike comes following a series of attacks against Iranian interests in the region, including a strike on the Syrian port of Latakia and an unpublicized visit by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House.
Conditions described as 'unbearable'
The conditions of the prisoners' detainment have been described as "unbearable" by Iranian officials. The exact nature of the conditions was not disclosed to the public. The prisoners are being held in a secret location. The Israeli government has not commented on the allegations.
Prisoners' families protest
Families of the captured soldiers have gathered outside the Iranian Parliament building in Tehran to protest the handling of the situation. The protestors called for the government to take action to secure the soldiers' release.
International implications
The prisoners' detainment could further erode the already fragile relations between Iran and Israel, as well as complicate international relations in the Middle East. It also puts the United States, which has cautious relations with both countries, in a delicate position.
