Conditions inside Evin Prison in 2025 bore no resemblance to those of the late 1980s. Unlike in 1988, there was no appetite among inmates for rebellion or confrontation with the state. No ideological groundwork had been laid for insurrection, and no internal momentum existed to support such chaos.
Furthermore, even amid the broader attacks on Tehran, the population did not respond with anti-government protests. On the contrary, civilians rallied behind the Armed Forces, standing firmly against the Zionist aggression.
If Israel’s objective was to destabilize Iran, such an operation might have been more plausible in the early days of the war. But by the time of the prison strike, the tide had already turned in favor of Iran’s military. The move appeared less a strategic play and more an act of desperation—Israel’s final shot at tipping the balance through internal turmoil.
In the end, the plan failed. The scheme hatched by the Zionist regime, along with MEK and Reza Pahlavi, to use the prison strike as a catalyst for nationwide unrest was foiled. Rather than weakening Iran, the attack only added another stain to Israel’s record—marking a grim chapter of disgrace, as the regime became one of the few in modern history to bomb a prison filled with civilians.
