A bombshell new report from CBS News suggests that the Iranian Government has murdered between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters since the ongoing, national revolt against it began.

“Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported,”

    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.

    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.

      Or the admin is doing the Iraq WMD stuff to go to war. Something that the current admin did for months with Venezuela. Of course news agencies with goldfish memory will just repeat a whole lie. So whether its the boy crying wolf again or not its clearly a tragedy whether its 1% of a Gaza or 5% of a Gaza.

    From what I was told. We can’t trust info coming out of Iran right now. We don’t know if these are the Iranian government trying see who repeats info. But because internet is so limited. We don’t have our normal sources.
