Its just started trending in the western media within the last day or so.
Organophosphate based nerve agents,if this is in fact what these as yet unknown agents are,is certainly not something that your average terror group could come up with without some very specialized help.
Are you saying that US and Israel are now providing nerve toxins to attack Iranian civilians...weapons of mass destruction on civilian population...are they so desperate
You might not like what I will say, but I think theirs some rogue actor here in the establishment that has given this order. I've already heard suspects have been arrested and interviewed to no avail. They'll find out soon enough.
چطور میشه یک مدرسه رو مسموم کرد ولی بچه مذهبی هاش و بچه آخونداش مسموم نشن؟
Kindly have a look at the following links:

- Afghanistan (2009–) – Starting around 2009, a spate of apparent poisonings at girls' schools across Afghanistan began to be reported, with symptoms including dizziness, fainting, and vomiting. The United Nations, World Health Organization and NATO's International Security Assistance Force carried out investigations of the incidents over multiple years, but never found any evidence of toxins or poisoning in the hundreds of blood, urine, and water samples they tested. The conclusion of the investigators was that the girls had a mass psychogenic illness.[55][56] Despite these findings, Afghan officials often blame the incidents on the Taliban, accusing them of contaminating the school's water supply or using poison gas.[56]

As you can see, the phenomenon of phobia-induced, socially contagious mass hysteria is much more common that one might have thought. Indeed it's been observed especially among adolescent school girls the world over, across countries of variable economic development belonging to different cultural-civilizational spheres.
Do no expect mainstream media to make any mention of it when it comes to Iran though. When it happens elsewhere, they'll adopt a scientific approach to the question. If Iran's concerned however, they along with the western- and zionist-backed opposition in exile - and even domestic liberals (reformists and moderates, as could be seen in some of the newspapers close to these currents) - will automatically try to suggest it's a case of "evil mullahs poisoning school girls because of their reactionary beliefs, and as a form of "revenge" against rebellious female pupils who displayed support for recent riots".
Interestingly, in the Afghan context western media and the UN were honest enough to shed light on the issue even though their reports ran counter to accusation leveled against the Taleban, very much identical to those targeting the Islamic Republic and/or pious Iranians today. This goes to illustrate how the zio-American empire's enmity against Iran tops their hostility to the likes of the Taleban. The Islamic Revolution is and remains their main adversary at the global scale, their absolute nemesis.
Nevermind the profound absurdity of this propaganda, which obfuscates the rather obvious facts that if individuals linked to the IR had been behind this, they'd be highly likely to avoid focusing on the holy city of Qom of all places; that among schoolgirls, there are daughters of government officials, of IRGC and Basij personnel, of religious Hezbollahi folk i.e. of the government's revolutionary support base; that the Islamic Republic, as opposed to its foreign enemies and Iranian opponents, has exactly zero interest in resorting to actions that may provoke popular discontent and unrest or which may tend to depict public authorities as incapable of sound governance; that tellingly enough, teenage pupils were the only ones to exhibit the symptoms - the illness spared teachers and school personnel who were present in the same classrooms or buildings.
The fact that neither the extensive medical tests carried out on affected schoolgirls nor the biological screening of the premises in question yielded any critical quantities of toxic or suspicious substances, as well as the inexistence of CCTV footage or witness sightings of a perpetrator, further tend to invalidate the hypothesis of some extremist fringe grouplet not linked to the Islamic Republic proceeding to spread poisonous agents at those schools.

Now let's consider the situation of the average teenage Iranian high school student in early 2023: not only have they witnessed last year's riots with the specific propaganda slogan ("woman, life, freedom"), debates about the economic environment but moreover they too are exposed directly or indirectly to the ravaging impact of non-stop psy-ops and propaganda by foreign-based Persian-language satellite broadcasters as well as social media. Under these conditions, their mood is bound to be rife with anxiety, creating ideal conditions for the manifestation of mass psychogenic symptoms.
Here's a truly interesting and well made presentation by Jedaal's Ali Alizadeh highlighting the probability of mass hysteria as the proper explanation:
Another plausible interpretation, in all theory, would be some sort of a secret weapon being tested by the USA regime on Afghan and Iranian children. But classic poisoning with substances appears unlikely, given that the culprits would surely have either left a track somewhere, would have been intercepted or at least been seen by a witness, at least once.
