The death toll in Iran has soared as authorities have carried out a brutal crackdown, with 2,571 people killed and more than 18,100 people arrested, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRNA). Already, the death toll from the two-week protest movement dwarfs any other in Iran since its 1979 revolution.
Protesters said there was a heavy security force on Wednesday as authorities prepared for a mass funeral of 300 security forces and civilians killed in demonstrations.
So, 2571 confirmed deaths, one mass funeral of 300 people in one city.
That’s one hospital. Let’s assume “hundreds” means 200. Average city has maybe 5 hospitals -> 1000 gunshot eye injuries per city. 180 cities and towns -> with a simplified model 18 000 gunshot eye injuries per Iran.
Thanks. You are the first one who pointed out their owner. I did not know that CBS had a new chief editor.
For those who haven’t heard yet:
In October 2025, Paramount Skydance bought The Free Press for $150 million and installed Weiss, who had no prior experience in broadcast journalism, as editor-in-chief of CBS News.[1][73][74] She reports to David Ellison, the head of Paramount Skydance.[75]
CBS hasn’t completely lost its credibility on all issues yet, but it’s definitely lost a lot and is rapidly losing it. It was bought out by a right wing billionaire specifically to exert editorial control and the current head of their news was a right wing activist before this position
There’s definitely violence against the protesters there. The awfulizing and amplification of the issues in Iran are specifically to bolster this administration’s desire to make war there.
Fascism need not always lie but instead selectively reveal pieces of reality and fudge the lines of credulity. There are ways to support Democratic revolutions that don’t involve sending our military in.
The people of Iraq were also very grateful to see Saddam Hussein go but that doesn’t mean that they wanted to lose hundreds of thousands of people to starvation and wanton destruction to satisfy our foreign policy goals.
