A bombshell new report from CBS News suggests that the Iranian Government has murdered between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters since the ongoing, national revolt against it began.
“Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported,”
I really, really hope the protesters succeed. Iran has such a glorious history and wonderful people - they deserve so much more. It could retake its place as the shining example of countries in the region, as it was for most of the last 5000 years.
As long as the US doesn’t march in and say “We’ll help you with your oil and write your laws for you.”
Do you know that saudi arabia beheads more protestors per capita than Iran? Do you know how many countries in the middleast that don’t even allow any protest or assembly or voting or any political participation? do you know there’s a country in a middleeast that is an actual genocidal settler colonial superamacist aparthied?
Iranian people main suffering happens because of Western sanction because they oppose israel. If the US really gave a fuck about human rights, they should free Palestinians from their genocidal government that slaughtered 100000 of them this year alone. But no, they are aiding israel, and supporting every oppressive murderous absolute dictatorship government in the middleeast that support israel.
Did you know that obesity kills more people than cancer? That’s why we need to stop caring about cancer completely. Someone you know has cancer? Fuck them, because did I mention obesity is worse? We should only think about one thing at a time, and I get to decide what that thing is. Absolutely NOTHING should be done about cancer until not a single human being is obese.
both are bad but the reason they never fight cancer and in fact they’re funding, protecting and spreading cancer to other countries is because there a powerful lobby that bribes US government politicians to fund and protect cancer at any cost, and fight anyone who wants to stop cancer from spreading to other countries.
Not only this, the people you’re talking about were protesting the sickness they got because of the sanctions thay the cancer spreading lobby made againt them, and even sent their spy agents to spread cancer there by shooting and killing and burning people and ambulances and buildings, and then made lies in the media to misguide the real dignosis and call to just bomb and kill everyone there and put in charge a cancer-loving monarch that works with them and would then exploit their resources to them and allow them to spread cancer to the rest of the world.
12.000 number came first from JerusalemPost/TimeofIsrael side so its not reliable.
CBS News
12,000 and 20,000 protesters
Dawg Pakistan wasn’t even able to arrest that many people in the past 2 years worth of protests against an army with actual firepower that has been working overtime to get people killed.
It even took Gaza a solid month to reach those numbers under constant bombing campaigns and a wall of IFVs.
Iran’s internet has only been complete blackout for 4 days, so unless they decided to unload several war days worth of ammunition in a purge killing spree, this isn’t possible. AP is reporting 2.7k.
Its atrocity propaganda
2.7k is most likely a big overestimate.
AP seems to point towards ~2000
Literally atrocity propaganda.
This is the Iran equivalent of the beheaded babies.
CBS is owned by Larry Ellison and run by Bari Weiss. Zionist fanatics who are Israel first.
With the Trump admin looking who to attack next around the world I don’t trust any of these numbers.
holy shit, that’s awful.
Jesus, I wish there was some kind of standard for freedom of speech and freedom of the press that could be applied globally…
But that would be inherently “evil” because global governments are supposed to be bad? Unless it’s corporate globalism. Then it’s ok, and we don’t need standards or regulations because the values are just baked in since it’s a private company…?
Still it does seems a bit hypocritical to point out how evil Iran is while Trump is threatening to invoke the insurrection act in Minnesota against protestors who are upset about Trump invading their home, tear gassing a high school, shooting one man, and murdering one woman (so far), and even though it hasn’t gotten much press, for some reason the FBI just raided a journalists home yesterday and nobody really seems to know why.
Not trying to downplay Iran murdering so many citizens or give Trump brownie points just because he’s pointing at the guy he’s got a lot of catching up to do with when comparing violent crack downs on critics and the press.
Let’s just focus on the guy in Iran bc Trump’s mad at him, not the guy in Saudi Arabia bc we’re frenz now… And maybe not the guy in Russia? Because I can’t even keep up with what we’re all supposed to believe re: Trump, Putin, and oil right now.
Tldr: Authoritarian dictators all suck no matter who they are, where they are, or how many innocent people they’ve murdered (so far)
ITT: lemmites jumping through hopes to be contrarians
Or the admin is doing the Iraq WMD stuff to go to war. Something that the current admin did for months with Venezuela. Of course news agencies with goldfish memory will just repeat a whole lie. So whether its the boy crying wolf again or not its clearly a tragedy whether its 1% of a Gaza or 5% of a Gaza.
This is the new CBS. Is this true or is it giving Trump what he needs to go in there?
These numbers are bullshit, they exceed even war casualty numbers where artillery and air power are used. Obvious propaganda.
From what I was told. We can’t trust info coming out of Iran right now. We don’t know if these are the Iranian government trying see who repeats info. But because internet is so limited. We don’t have our normal sources.
Tr*mp: “How soon can we do that here?”
Everything doesn’t have to be about the US.
Oi, that’s more then most tiananmen square massacre estimates. Must be crazy to be there right now.
I’m seeing this wave of revolts and I’m still wondering when my compatriots back home in China will finally rise up against the government… 👀
