Iranian state tv gave an official death toll of 3117. from aljazeera, famously pro US outlet.
How many people have died in Iran as a consequence of western sanctions since their currency exchange value plummeted? Remember, EU+US sanctions murder HALF A MILLION PEOPLE YEARLY
ah yes. whataboutism.
It's not whataboutism, the protests are literally created by western-manufactured poverty, the US has admitted as much. Remember that the sanctions on Cuba are justified with the following:
"to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government". I'm quoting official US memos here.
