Students poisoned, women threatened to have bank accounts frozen as Iran protests continue

Protests against the Iranian regime continue globally but the Islamic Republic is not backing down. Reports were released that Iranian students have been poisoned ahead of a scheduled protest, and there are new threats being made to women.
Foreign Desk News reports a “member of the Iranian parliament told local state media that the government plans to impose new punishments on women who do not wear a hijab in public.”
Individuals who refuse to comply reportedly will have their bank accounts frozen after two warnings. Hossein Jalali, a member of the Cultural Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, told media outlets that “unveiled persons” would be sent an SMS urging them to respect the law and wear a hijab before entering a “warning phase” and finally having their bank account frozen.
The regime official did not describe what the “warning stage” entailed. “Other key figures in the Islamic government have said that cameras could be used along with artificial intelligence to identify offenders” adds FDN.
The Foreign News Desk reports of the protests and citizens’ battle with the government:
As protests continue to flourish in Iran, the ayatollahs have relied heavily on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Basij paramilitary forces and terrorist proxies to suppress protesters. In the past few weeks, the regime has enacted several sentences against protesters, finding ways to push for consequences against protesters while doing everything to maintain Islamic governance.
Several days ago, an Iranian bank manager was fired for attending to an unveiled woman without a hijab. In response to the regime’s crackdowns, more Iranians are engaging in their daily activities in Iran without hijabs despite facing threats and harassment from regime supporters.

Report: 11 UK Universities are helping Iran develop, improve military weapons

According to a report from the Jewish Chronicle, multiple universities in the United Kingdom have been aiding Iran in improving and developing military weapons. Such weapons include drones and fighter jets. The report is terrifying, showing that eleven British schools may be involved.
Universities such as the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, were part of the eleven schools which “conducted at least 16 studies with connections to the Iranian regime’s use of military technology. The technology that U.K. scientists have developed has likely been used in Iranian weapons deployed in Ukraine as Russia leans on the Iranians for military aid” reports the Washington Free Beacon.
The conducted projects have helped improve Iranian technology and are sometimes even funded by the Iranian government in Tehran, the Jewish Chronicle reported:
The JC can reveal that in one project researchers in Britain worked to improve drone engines, boosting their altitude, speed and range. It was funded by Tehran.
Another British university worked with Iranian counterparts to test sophisticated new control systems for jet engines, aimed at increasing their “manoeuvrability and response time” in “military applications”.
Other UK-based scientists have worked with Iran to research the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as mobile base stations to extend the range of communications systems, on special alloys for military aircraft and coatings to upgrade armour plating.
