the regime is murdering unarmed protesters in the thousands
According to their geopolitical enemies, yes. But you’d think we’d see evidence if there was just hundreds. Please stop spreading imperialist narratives that are used right now to get our consent to bomb the hell out of children and other civilians.
I’m not American and don’t agree remotely with the American war against Iran to be clear, but the evidence spans countless difference sources going back decades, including UN fact finding missions, amnesty international etc, the same sources that have been considered trustworthy on proving Israel is committing genocide.
I’m not using this as consent to bomb their children I oppose the bombing of Iran. We do not need to take a single side and try to hide all evidence of wrongdoing by that side, the Iranian regime is a brutal dictatorship and the USA is killing children in Iran I do not see why both cannot be true.
Amnesty lied in the past to support US imperialism, for example they claimed Gaddafi used mass rape as a tool for control (which was false), they also claimed that the Iraqi army disconnected over a hundred newborns from a hospital in Kuwait (which was also false), look at what happened to Iraq and Libya because of this kind of bullshit.
Iran is far from perfect but you don’t see this hyperfixation on other countries that are demonstrably worse even though they don’t face massive economic sanctions (like Saudi Arabia and other GCC). And again, the US and its allies don’t care about the genocide of Muslims, but we’re supposed to believe they care about Iranians? And about Iranian women? The people who opened the war by killing over a hundred schoolgirls? Is that the freedom you envision?
Again, if you’re gonna side with imperialist narratives we want evidence. Evidence like footage. Show me the footage of at least a dozen peaceful protestors in iran being killed by their evil government, because I haven’t found any of that. On the other hand I’ve seen footage of rioters (who weren’t peaceful at all) murdering civilians and setting mosques on fire. And again, I don’t particularly like the Iranian government, but my feelings about that don’t matter at all here, we’re talking about a country resisting an imperial war of aggression after surviving decades of imperialist economic warfare. Do you not know that western economic sanctions kill over half a million people wolrdwide every year? If not this war, is that what you support? Or how do you suggest we go about helping Iranians?
There are countless sources within the link I posted including the footage you asked for. This has been independently verified by many involved organisations but I’m sure you will move the goalposts and say for whatever reason all that footage of peaceful protesters being killed isnt valid.
Regardless, I am not hyperfixated on Iran, I just am opposing wiki editors deleting evidence of their atrocities because all human rights offenses deserve to be covered. I do believe the abuses in Iran like you say are being used by America to justify their illegal invasion, yet I don’t believe that justifies trying to erase evidence of the abuses by Iran.
I care about the genocide of Muslims, so I don’t understand why you are talking to me as if I am America. I care about the Iranians and Iranian women, I am sickened by what America has done in Iran in recent weeks. I am not asking you to believe the USA gov cares about the Iranians, i don’t believe they do either. We should care about every single injustice against the innocent worldwide.
I cared about what Iran has been doing to their people long before America started bombing them, I’m not going to suddenly flip my opinion on that and support suppressing information about the atrocities the Iranian regime is committing due to recent events.
I don’t know why you assume my critique of the dictatorship regime in Iran equates in any way to support of America.
Another strong source is the UN, again you might have complaints with them but please read these sources before dismissing them, you don’t have to take either the UN or amnesty internationals word for it, both have provided significant evidence in these documents.

I looked at the stuff shared in the article, which showcases people previously shot or otherwise hurt, which isn’t the same thing as a video showcasing the government shooting into a crowd or prosecuting peaceful protestors. The narrative you’re promoting isn’t corroborated by the evidence you’re sharing. The only thing I can verify with that is that people indeed got hurt, which even the Iranian government acknowledges.
The organizations that “independently verified” these claims are western backed NGOs, regardless of the intentions of those working there they serve their donors, who have itched to plunder Iran for decades.
