The US can't even confirm how many detainees have died in custody in immigration detention around the country, yet they have precise numbers on how many people the Iranian regime has killed? Give me a break.

If Iran is unwilling to let neutral international observers confirm the number, that suggests they are trying to hide a number they don't want the world to know.

Who gets to define what "neutral" is? According to the US, the International Criminal Court is not fit for this purpose. It certainly can't be a nation-state that's in a military alliance with the US.

Human Rights Watch, MSF, UNICEF? Woke grievance factories, the lot of them /s . World Health Organization? US just left it. It's slim pickings out there.

So, you believe the Iranian state numbers?

>The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported Tuesday that at least 6,126 people have been killed, including 5,777 protesters, 214 government-affiliated forces, 86 children and 49 civilians, based on verified reports from its network of activists inside Iran.

>Iranian state television reported last week that 3,117 people were killed during the demonstrations, with the Martyrs Foundation stating that 2,427 were civilians and security forces. Authorities have labelled remaining casualties as "terrorists".

>However, Time magazine on Sunday cited two senior Iranian health ministry officials saying at least 30,000 people had been killed in street clashes across Iranian cities. The Guardian reported a similar figure of 30,000 deaths on 7 January, citing its sources, and added that a large number of people had disappeared.

So just say you are full throated on the side of Iran.

I for one, am on the side of the West.
