You have to give the Iranian people their due. They refuse to quit fighting.

US still going ahead with deportations to Iran.

I imagine the deportees will fare about as well in Iran as the kids of the MS St. Louis did back in Europe.

Iran opposition outlet says regime killed over 36,000 people on January 8-9

Iran International cites witnesses, victims’ families and internal reports; NY Times reports Khamenei ordered authorities to crush protests using ‘any means necessary’

The opposition-affiliated Iranian news site Iran International reported Sunday that over 36,000 people were killed by the regime at the height of protests earlier this month, numbers similar to those also reported by Time magazine.

quote:

The Iranian opposition outlet said its estimate for the death toll in the brutal repression of January 8-9 is based on extensive data it compiled from “classified documents, field reports, and accounts from medical staff, witnesses, and victims’ families.”

quote:

It said the numbers make the killings the “bloodiest massacre of civilians during street protests, over a two-day period, in history.”

quote:

Most of the killings were done by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its allied Basij militia, though proxies brought in from Iraq and Syria were also used, according to the report.

quote:

Sources in the country’s interior ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the outlet that figures from provincial security councils, submitted January 20, put the toll at over 30,000.

quote:

Iran International also said it saw a report presented on January 21 to the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee that put the number of dead at over 27,500.

quote:

In addition, two sources from the Supreme National Security Council told the outlet that the IRGC last week compiled two reports, one that put the number at over 33,000, and another at over 36,500.

quote:

Beyond the mass killings at protests, the outlet said it received evidence, including photos, that some people were executed by security forces while receiving treatment for injuries at hospitals.

quote:

“The organized killings across Iran indicate the brutal crackdown was carried out with the agreement and cooperation of state institutions and on the orders of the highest authorities of the Islamic Republic,” it said.

quote:

Time magazine, in a report earlier Sunday saying the toll could top 30,000, cited two unnamed senior officials in the Iranian health ministry. Time said it was unable to independently verify the figures, but an estimate of 30,000 accords with reports from doctors and other first responders on the ground during the protests.

quote:

The report said that, according to the health officials, 30,000 people were killed just between January 8 and 9, in the heat of weeks-long anti-regime protests that spread across the country. Time cited officials as saying that the country used 18-wheeler trucks instead of ambulances at the time and ran out of body bags.

quote:

Previous reports have also identified January 8 and 9 as days on which the regime carried out mass slaughter of protesters with security forces firing live ammunition into crowds. On January 8, Iran imposed an internet blackout, and full service has not yet been restored. It has also blocked international calls into the country. But some information, including purported videos of killings and mass casualties, along with testimonies from doctors, has trickled out.

The disproportionate coverage by the media over this compared to the Marxist uprising posing as a 'community standing against Trump' in MN is jaw dropping.

Think real hard about what the difference is here.

One is a real international story and the other is mostly contrived political drama amped up with divisive rhetoric by democrats.

If this is true, it's about to go down.
