It’s also a few days into Ramadan, a holiday where Muslims fast while the sun is up. (It lasts approximately from fat Tuesday to Easter.)
So, you know, if you want to fuck up someone’s day, make ‘em work extra hard while hangry.

(Which is not necessarily true. IIRC, much of the religious understanding and forgiveness in Islam is about intent. They might be cool with breaking a fast when facing an existential threat. But it’s Iran, sooo…)

It can be a bit variable with Islam, but depending on what you follow there's maybe an exemption from having to fast during Ramadan if your well-being is just generally at risk from doing so. There are also several groups that are exempted (Sick, Pregnant, too young, too old, etc), but don't think any of them apply here.

Yeah they have a clause about even eating pork if it's a matter of life and death. It's one of those "God gets it" kind of fine print.

More like, Ramadan, meaning they're ticked off because they're hungry and go fire off a few IRAMs. Attacks always increased when they were fasting.
