Crowds of Iranian-Americans took to the streets of Westwood on Saturday to celebrate the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the reported formation of a provisional government by opposition groups, marking a moment many said they never expected to witness in their lifetimes.

Celebrations spilled into the streets near Persian Square with people waving Iranian flags, honking car horns and chanting in joy. Some danced in the streets, expressing hope for a freer Iran.

    The number isn’t as important as the tell of the media in how they choose to report them.

    As somebody else posted: 9 Israeli lives will stay above the fold for days, and over 80 girls killed at school never gets front page.

      Isn’t that just dependent on the news sources you’re following? There’s definitely some bias here and there but that’s why you should be following multiple sources from multiple backgrounds anyways.
