    If you gave a single fuck about Iranians, you’d know that the better and newer estimates hover around the thousands and not tens of thousands. For reference, estimates of dead Palestinians since Oct 7th due to violence and privation of food, water, energy and medicine, range in the half million.

    How many tens of thousands of Iranians have been murdered by US+EU sanctions knowing that said sanctions murder half a million people worldwide EVERY YEAR?

      How should we know when they cut off access to the internet and don’t allow journalists to document evidence?

        And meanwhile, Israel has instituted a policy of the deliberate mass execution of journalists on an industrial scale.

          So you trust the Iranians simply because they’re not Israeli? Even though they’ve done everything to conceal as much information as possible?

          Interesting.

            Who said I trust the Iranian government? It’s simply obvious that Israel-associated media inflates the figures. Parroting Israeli propaganda uncritically is unwise.

              I think you might be propagandized.
