An apparent Israeli air-strike on the Iranian capital Tehran "completely destroyed" one of the city's synagogues, according to local media. Iran's Mehr news agency and the reformist Shargh media outlet said the Rafi-Nia synagogue was hit early on April 7. Footage appeared to show rescue workers searching through the rubble of the building, with Hebrew liturgical texts strewn on the ground. The strike came during the Jewish holiday of Passover. There was no immediate report of casualties.

Leaders of all the major Kurdish opposition parties in Iran denied that they have received weapons from the United States, after President Donald Trump said that Washington had sent arms to the Iranian protesters through the Kurds. "We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them," Trump told Fox News by telephone on April 5. "And I think the Kurds took the guns." He later reiterated to Fox on camera: "We sent guns, a lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people, so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them."

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk warned April 1 that repression of freedom of expression across the Middle East has deepened significantly since the US-Israeli attacks on Iran commenced at the end of February.

Amnesty International on March 17 called for those responsible for a US strike on an Iranian school to be held accountable.

The Feb. 28 strike on the girls' school in Minab, in southern Iran, killed over 100 children. Amnesty's Evidence Lab conducted an investigation into the strike, analyzing over 30 satellite images and reviewing official statements, independent media reports, and witnesses accounts.

As Trump and Netanyahu rain death down on Iran, the ayatollah regime paints any would-be protesters as pawns of the "enemy" and promises deadly repression. This positions the civil opposition poorly for any resumption of the uprising that the regime drowned in blood mere weeks ago—and points to the paradoxical reality that Trump and the regime are de facto (at least) collaborators against the Iranian people. In Episode 318 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg repudiates both those who would rally around the reactionary and criminal regime in the name of opposing the US-Israeli aggression and those who would rally around Trump's reckless and criminal war in the interest of opposing the regime. Instead, he offers statements from Iran's anarchist and dissident-left opposition that continue to advance an uncompromising neither/nor position.

United Nations officials said on March 10 that US and Israeli airstrikes on fuel depots in Tehran have released large amounts of toxic pollutants, producing acidic "black rain" across parts of the capital.

Human Rights Watch on March 6 urged authorities in Iran to lift restrictions on internet and communication services, citing concerns that civilians are being left unable to access potentially lifesaving information in the midst of the armed conflict with the US and Israel.

The US Senate turned down a War Powers Resolution (WPR) in a 47-53 vote on March 4, declining to impose limits on President Donald Trump's ability to wage war with Iran. If it had passed, the resolution would have required President Trump to seek congressional approval prior to any continued military action.
