CBS is currently beholden to the Nazi's and I don't know if I trust their reporting. It would be in the US' best interest to show Iranian instability as well as how violent "real" protesting is to try and dissuade domestic ideas.
That said. If Iran is murdering 10k citizens a week, their government won't last through the end of the month. One can only hope.
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.
AP seems to point towards ~2000
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.
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.
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.
Bombshell report is right. This report was literally made to precede bombs.
Western media always gets played by the cia, state department, israel, et al.
There might be protests, they are associated with the west, on issues the west exacerbated the problems of for this purpose, helped in Iran, but also agent provokateurs to stir up violence.
Protesters are pawns, media is a bishop perhaps, in fomenting another iran war. If we can use a chess analogy when one player lacks major pieces.
If you think the us and israel are going to make anything better, it explains how we got into our own political position.
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.
Oi, that's more then most tiananmen square massacre estimates. Must be crazy to be there right now.
Fucking monsters, I hope the Iranian people string up their opressors.
Tr*mp: "How soon can we do that here?"
12.000 number came first from JerusalemPost/TimeofIsrael side so its not reliable.
This is what a mass protest would look like in the US.
Does this mean the government commenters at lemmy.ml defend isn't good?
To all those who keep calling for acts of violence in the US I ask: how many will Dementia Donny kill in response?
