Military occupation of school dormitory in Divandarreh disrupts education

The dormitory of the Zarinah Boys Boarding High School, officially known as Shahid Motahari High School in the Divandarreh region of Kurdistan Province, has been occupied by military forces. This occupation began following military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran in March 2026.

Students, particularly those residing in surrounding rural areas who rely on the boarding facilities, have been barred from using the dormitory. This has forced many to commute daily between their homes and the school, causing significant educational disruptions and leading some students to cease their studies entirely. Witnesses have reported seeing personnel in army uniforms at the site, though the specific military or security entity in charge has not been independently identified.
