United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.
I think Iran itself said ~2,000 dead
It’s a high number but not unreasonable given the size of the country and its urban areas/densities. That 40,000 shit was so brazenly a lie it just served to undermine the credibility of anyone who repeated it uncritically
Agreed, I just said that because 2,000 is “thousands”.
5.000 as per the article, 500 of them regime forces
