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.

Agreed. Need an aljazeera link.

Yup. Whatever's coming out of CBS on topics where Israel has vested interest, there's a good chance of hasbara. Could still be true but a bucket of salt is recommended.

20,000 soldiers were killed on the first day of the Somme in WWI which involved literally mowing down rows of soldiers with machine gun. We would see plenty of evidence if this was happening to civilians in cities even without internet.

Any unrest in iran right now will be associated with the us and israel, and be ruthlessly crushed for that reason, coming on the heels of israel's bullshit.
