> Western diplomatic sources told Iran International

> In early-November, an unnamed source at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport told Kayhan-London

> Citing an unnamed Iranian source,

> There are also unconfirmed reports that officials are transferring their assets to friendly countries

Basically, "source? trust me bro!"

Yeah lets name them bro, then we can have articles like: "Iranian whistleblower found dead with signs of torture." Much better!

I find it hard to believe that in an era of smartphones and all these gadgets, there's no picture, video or any other type of evidence except "unnamed sources".

As adamsmith143 pointed out, if that evidence exists, it's probably better to keep it out of sight of Iranian authorities. If that means you don't believe it, then that's what it is. Exposing sources is a bad idea.

[adamsmith143]

Of course the evidence exists lol but you don't burn your sources if you ever want another hot tip and certainly not when it likely means a horrible death for them if you do.

[Alir3z4]

I like how you're confident the evidence exists by seeing 0 evidence.

Sure. Apparently I should also believe Iran has WMD and NATO should attack it. It's coming from a unnamed sources.

Journalists != CIA/DOD for the majority of cases so this isn't really the own you think it is.
