We have a lot of videos of protests in Iran yet no videos of mass killings whatsoever.

30k murders is the same as Iraq’s WMD but people are too gullible to see that.

I see how smart those bombs are in Iran and Lebanon, they are able to surgically destroy whole residential buildings.

The regime admits 3,000. According to human rights group tracking numbers the regime reports about 10% of it's political executions, so following that 30,000 would be about right.

There were lots of morgue videos with mass deaths. There were videos of large crowds fleeing as gunshots are fired. There were videos of men on rooftops firing into crowds. What exact videos are you looing for? There are reports by family of doctors/nurses them being taking away. Of them being killed.

Destroying 1 building is much better than the random cluster bomb dispersal over whole neighborhoods that Iran is doing.

Your response of just using an ad hominem calling me gullible and providing zero information to back up the name calling up is not in line with the HN community guidelines though I understand the guidelines deliberately aren't enforced in the normal way and exceptions are made for one side's narrative of the ongoing mideast crisis.

None of your sources display any kind of evidence whatsoever.

Where are videos of police opening fire on protesters?

30K deaths and not a single video circling around? How’s that possible?

X-Ray? Really?!

All you posted is “report says”. Again, just like “report said” there were WMD.

The regime reports that they killed 3000 people. That police fired on people is not in dispute by either side (other than apparently you). Don't know what else to tell you. Bots sides weren't in agreement in your desperate equivalating with the not equivalent WMD thing. Iran traditionally only confirms 10% of political executions it commits. 30,000 fits with the historical numbers around Iranian murders of their citizens.

Doctors normally take Xrays of patients as part of the medical process. They don't normally take photographs. Not sure why you don't trust xrays? Are you anti-modern medicine/tech as well as anti-secular/pro-Islamic government?

Your requirement for videos out of a despotic regime that has shut the internet down shows you don't really care about the reality.

Keep trying to justify religious murder by an Islamic Republic of people who just want to be free of the rule of Islam and be secular. The Iranian government says they killed 3000 people. That this occurred isn't in dispute.
