I just thought it might be possible since it seems to be a amateurish work and the substance its very cheap and easy to get, as well as easily produced.
But i might be wrong though since you imadiately notice the substance, its leaves a strange bitter taste in your throat once you inhale it.
For sure it's amateurish. Very much in fact.
I really don't know. Your guess can be as good as mine. I for sure have no idea what kind of pesticides or rodenticides are used in Iran, which are legal or illegal etc.
The reason why I doubt that hydrogen cyanide is used is because there are many more common pesticides and rodenticides out there. At least in the Arab world from what I know and somehow I doubt that Iran is much more different here.
First-generation anticoagulants for instance are more effective against pest rodents and less toxic than second-generation anticoagulants.
In general rodents are more likely than domestic animals or humans to consume quantities of treated bait that will cause poisoning. Accidental ingestion by young children can occur though and I remember similar cases in KSA.
In any case any toxic can easily spread through the central air-conditioning ducts.
The most toxic rodenticides that I can think of that might be potential killers in this case are sodium fluoraacetate, fluoracetamide, strychnine, crimidine, yellow phosphorus, zinc phosphide, thallium sulfate etc. to mention a few. Small doses alone are highly poisonous and can be fatal.
In Europe no sane person is using such chemicals to kill insects or rodents nowadays though.

I cannot see anything in the Saudi Arabian media about the pesticide/rodenticide used in this case?
