> There's absolutely no proof that happened. Pathetic.

What I said is factual. We're already seeing pictures of murdered children coming out of Iran, just like we did with Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon... Not a single shred of evidence has been produced to back the claim that Iran murdered anyone, let alone tens of thousands of people.

  What you said is a pathetic lie. The regime itself claims they killed over 3000. https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-memorials-chehelom-71e5db503a287126a2d31cb32a2809eb https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-memorials-chehelom-... https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-crackdown-hospitals-326f127b5fef610a89f89e5c164b473c https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-crackdown-hospitals... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/02/20/how-many-protesters-have-been-killed-in-iran/88784701007/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/02/20/how-man... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62v248xkl5o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62v248xkl5o Honestly I don't even know why I bother.

    I'll save everyone the clicks: there's no evidence of Iran claiming they killed over 3000 people in any of these articles. There's a claim they said this, but as with all reporting about Iran, no proof. Also, 3000 is not "tens of thousands".

      It looks like you saved yourself the clicks. "The Human Rights Activists News Agency says it confirmed more than 7,000 deaths and that it is investigating thousands more. The government has acknowledged more than 3,000 killed, though it has undercounted or not reported fatalities from past unrest." - https://apnews.com/article/iran-campus-protests-crackdown-54149e9d49fe022d840f71eb5f5be106 https://apnews.com/article/iran-campus-protests-crackdown-54...

        It's constant deflection with you people. You can never actually address the facts head on; just deflect with "there's no evidence", pivot to "there's no proof", then cast aspersions on the most disagreeable messenger. You have previously intimated that you are also in the United States. Should I dismiss your arguments because you're allegedly based in the US, too?
