" They now claim 12,000 people were killed in Iran.

This is about 6x of daily losses in the Ukraine war, which is fought with drones, bombs, machine guns and tanks.

This is also physically impossible. This would mean that everyone who was protesting yesterday was killed and the streets need to be soaked in blood and bodies. This also implies about 24,000 injured. Nobody can hide and clean up such casualties quickly. Idiotic shock atrocity propaganda to provoke a new war.

Man, stop this garbage … it's annoying that I have to debunk this."


Whatever the exact number is, seems pretty clear that the Iranian government is killing the protestors, no?

Yes they are. They have also announced expedited executions for leaders of the protests. I saw one report that they will be happening as soon as Friday

It makes a big difference if the number killed is 300 versus 12,000-20,000, if those protestors were armed, shooting at police/other protestors, firebombing public places, or if they were unarmed and peaceful a la Kent State.

Also it makes a difference if those protests were instigated and armed by foreign powers.

You're clearly angry and you said Trump is envious that he can't hang people. Sounds like you're angry enough to want to hang people. Very clear connection between your post and mine.

Maybe learn what that means before using it

Thanks for the free psychoanalysis. I would be happy to return the favor, but I would have to charge you, and my conclusions would have you flagging my post like you have done in the past and the "neutral" volunteer Moderator would delete my post.

If your comment had said "The 1929 Yankees" it would have made more sense than what you posted. You argue with people based on "facts" of your own creation that have no basis in reality.

Free tip: Work on quality of your comments instead of quantity. You can file that tip in your folder "How to conduct myself going forward."

*You are still just too easy.

You're very welcome.

The fact is it wasn't a non sequitur and that's what I stated. Thanks for straying from the point and informing me of nothing.

It's a public message board bro. Get over yourself.

Reuters reports a government official claims it was 2,000. Unnamed person, though.



If the government itself is saying it's 2,000 then the real total is probably higher.

It's not the government saying this, it is someone from Reuters telling you he spoke with an "unnamed source".

You can't hide mass killings in the thousands in crowded urban settings in 2026, there will be lots and lots of phone footage capturing rivers of blood on streets covered with dozens of bodies.

We'll find out in the coming days and weeks what went down there from more reliable sources.

It's someone from Reuters saying they got this from a government official. But yes, as I noted they are not named.

We can't get the images yet because the Iranian government has instituted an internet blackout.

Shades of Maidan Square 2014, Iranian rioters have been armed and are shooting.





A senior journalist at Israel's far-right Channel 14 is alleging foreign orchestration behind the Iran protests. Tamir Morag, diplomatic correspondent for Channel 14, claimed the outlet reported that "foreign actors are arming the protesters in Iran with live firearms," which he said explains "the hundreds of regime personnel killed," adding: "Everyone is free to guess who is behind it."

Channel 14 is widely known inside Israel as a pro-Netanyahu, ultra-nationalist broadcaster that routinely advances security-state narratives and aggressive framing on Iran and Palestine.

Morag's comments here echo Israeli and Iranian government claims portraying the unrest as externally engineered, at a time when independent verification from inside Iran remains limited due to internet shutdowns and mass repression.

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu previously said Israeli agents are "operating right now" inside Iran amid the protests, claiming operatives are active there to "weaken Iran's capabilities."

On Jan. 3, former U.S. Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo posted on X that "the Iranian regime is in trouble" and referenced "every Mossad agent walking beside" Iranian protesters in the streets.

Trump likes the one off bombing runs, so expect that. Any further escalation would greatly backfire.

I never even realized Calvin Johnson took up providing war news after he retired from the Detroit Lions.

I'm not sure a bombing run is even going to do anything at this point. It's probably too late to turn any tide of revolution now.

(Not that I think the "revolution" is fully over. IMO it is showing weakness in the Iranian regime that things even got this far, so protests could easily return again. But the immediate action appears done for now, so dropping bombs isn't going to change that.)
