      Correct, there have been thousands of deaths, not the fantastical numbers in the 10s of thousands reported by Hasbara accounts and western media, and not the result of the IRGC one-sidedly slaughtering people en masse but intense riots and turmoil. Exaggerating tragedies and changing the nature of real events is exactly how western atrocity propaganda functions.

          It’d be whataboutism if it was unrelated or looking to downplay something, it’s very much related as you would have never had riots without the west sanctioning them and collapsing their currency. End the sanctions now if you care about Iranians.
