    And who knows what the actual situation is on the ground.

    Look at the so-called ‘Revolution of Dignity’ that happened in Ukraine back over a decade ago. The narrative is not so different from what is being reported in Iran right now, in that the government has been using lethal force on peaceful protestors. In reality when it comes to Ukraine, it has been extensively proven including with video and radio intercepts that far-right provocateurs part of the protestor’s own movement not only shot at police but also shot into crowds of said protestors and blamed it on the Ukrainian government leading to the government’s downfall.

    I suspect similar events are happening in Iran rn.
