How many western regime change operations that inevitably create magnitudes more casualties is too many? Because that's the "solution" that's being talked about, not some actual people's government

I'm not sure I understand the question, if you mean whether I trust any numbers the answer is no, but the government numbers are a good minimum estimate.

If the question is whether I support the Iranian government uncritically, the answer is also no, but based on past history it's still an extremely stupid idea to support an intervention.

I believe Iranians deserve a break from the illegal sanctions that keep them struggling, once they can breathe they'll decide in their own terms if they wanna reform or overthrow their government or whatever else.
