I have a bit of background in Conflict both military and academic. My first take on the casualties was that an early report of 3-4,000 was probably correct. I then spoke with long time medical provider. He has an Iranian associate who related about his family in Iran and that in one group of 11 there gad been 4 killed by the IRGC. On that bit of data I accept 30,000 minimum with the possibility it could be twice that. There is no question as to why even with the destruction we and the IDF have accomplished the majority opposition won’t go to the barricades yet.

I think you’re right. I’d just assume 50,000-100,000 killed or at least tortured, fricked up or in prison for a long long time. Probably mostly dead at this point.

Islam and their effed-up Koran must be out-effn-lawed, if peace on planet Earth is

ever to be effn achieved, for as long as their effn Koran exists, so does the effn image

of their effn Prophet, Muhammed.

pervy paedophile prophet Mohammed who married a 6 year old but didn’t bone her until she was 9? That Mohammed?

Of course to be fair, in his Hadith he decreed that while age 6 is marriageable, intercourse is not permitted until the wife is 9. To take the edge off, anything short of penile penetration is okay, though.

Forbes is reporting numbers close to your numbers. They say 53,522 arrests were made in Iran as of Feb 15, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency. Iran International, a news network opposed to the Iranian government, estimated late last month over 36,500 people had been killed. Current population of Iran as of this year is 93,072,055.

The opposition requires the will and the effn guts of the Bosheviks, right after the ending

of WW1, to defeat the family of the Tsar of Russia, and his cronies, much to Russia's

eventual chagrin.

Nicholas II was not a grandchild of Victoria, but his wife was. He was a first cousin of George V via their mothers, princesses of Denmark.

I can't say what I would do, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth as they say, but if they won't get into the streets, we damn sure shouldn't put boots on the ground.

James Washington's avatar

Agree. It looks like from reports this morning the Administration has a solid Strategic plan going forward. Stop Iran from tolls and control of the traffic. Clear the traditional route on the Gulf States side and open it to toll free traffic. We get it open Euros will show up to help keep it open.

Pakistanis seem to be pissed with the disrespect shown by the Iranians to the negotiations Pakis hosted. As a consequence they’ve allegedly sent a squadron of fighters to Saudi Arabia and some other assets.

Jack, I feel the same way about Megyn. There is a deep end these guys go off when they get 💵 signs in their eyes. The truth will not only set you free, if you wait it out it always reveals itself.

Megan Kelly: Greeted as Liberators?” That was Dick Cheney Meg. Such a stupid question. You MG seem to be afraid of Tucker, afraid to disagree. The Jooo thing. American Jews vote 58% for Dems, it makes them feel moral for some reason. Tucker’s interview with Huckabee was the reason I disavow TC. Mt hats off to the Israelis. They are brave peace loving people.

Remember her and Tucker going on a nationwide tour with Dan Bongino before the 2024 election?

Now Dan is exposing their grift of Hidden Knowledge.. here’s a data point and here’s a data point but host won’t give any solid details but wait for $10 a month I’ll play this game for clicks…Then all of them say Trump has dementia and invoke the 25th Amendment….GTFO with the 🐂 💩 gaslighting of saying Trump is Biden…

These People need some therapy like Beechnut in Eye…Hank Williams Jr…😉

The jihad between the Democratic Socialist of America and the Islamist radicals being financed by China and Qatar (among others)…just look at the recent arrests, what the democrats are in panic mode and what the Leftist domestic…White House is hammering Fraud…RINO’s and democrats want amnesty for one party rule not by God but Satan…Muslims will help the Satan worshippers and YES ALL DEMOCRATS too from the donors, protesters, voters or spreaders of disinformation and misinformation propaganda…

Disgusting! Where were all the Iranian flag pins instead of Ukrainian flag pins? Regarding Trump and Megyn Kelly. Remember her attempted "gotcha" moment? “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” Kelly said. Trump responded he was only talking about Rosie.

Trump is really over the target now. The left of course attacking him. Now the fake Conservatives like Kelly joining in too!

There is so much war propaganda being injected into the already BS saturated public realm that we have turned it off. Thanks for your research and reporting.

It’s amazing how a few of the previously right wing journalist, Kelly, Carlson, etc started leaning left with so little prompting. Not all the way, but a definite slant. I used to trust both but lately that trust is waning rapidly. Makes me wonder, when they were on Fox, did they believe what they were telling us or were they carrying water for the guy paying the bills?

Not being with Fox, are they out of the loop, having to pay for the inside info they once had access to? Shunned by their formally opposite leaning brethren who hold a grudge? Having to reach into their own pockets to run their operations?

Whatever it is, I’m not thrilled that they seem to be with those they formally were against and what they are doing now. They used to talk about unity with the right and now it seems to be more about them.

The old “Power Corrupts” saying and the power is obviously now about the money.

How about Nigeria?

Jack your thoughtful article begs the question, what ever happened to 'apples to apples".

Where there is no truth, there is no wisdom, where there is no wisdom, there is no peace, where there is no peace, there is no freedom, and some cannot see what that means.

I doubt most No Kings protesters even know about the latest mullahcracy mass murder.

Ictator's avatar

Evil ignored today, just like the mass murder during the holodomor, Cambodian killing fields, Mao’s great leap, nazi’s Auschwitz, and Stalin/Lenun’s gulag in the 20th century was also usually ignored or even covered up (ny slimes Pulitzer Prize winner, Walter Duranty) is a prime example of perpetual media malfeasance that went beyond the usual nonfeasance.

The rare exceptions, belated 1945 nazi death camps, and Solzhenitsyn’s revelations are almost forgotten today.

I say closer to 75,000 innocent Souls eliminated by the 7th Century Savages!

Muslims lie all the time

Accept nothing but unconditional surrender by the radical Islamists

There is only 11 or so Tribes to Unite which the Mossad and CIA should have already figured out unless one was help the democrats take the money and run to Switzerland 😉

Renee Good was cover (up) for Islamic street murders in Iran…what THEY did in IRAN has the same financial donors here saying Trump is going to do what Obama already did…I mean what was going on with the Islamic terrorists opening fire on civilians like the Islamic terrorists have been doing well before America was founded…

From the Shores of Tripoli…where Thomas Jefferson sent trained Army militia men to kill the bastards on the Barbary coast & Shores…starting the need for the USMC!

This Venezuela and Iran deal is sealing Europe’s to be a dependent piglet to American Energy…⬇️watch

This GBNews piece shows a different perspective

Jack, I’m through with Megyn, too. You can have her back.

Jack Cashill's avatar

But wil she take me?

Eric Sowers's avatar

Well, Jack, you’re on your own with that issue. I have confidence, though. I’m still wondering why Kristi Noem didn’t pick up the phone and call instead of hanging out with that lamer Lewandowski.

"The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency cited more than 6,000 deaths and close to 42,000 arrests."

What is it about the name of this organization that makes me think it's not exactly a bunch of Trump supporters? So they must be awfully conflicted; the higher the death count ascribed to the Iranian regime, the more justification for Operation Epic Fury. I would expect them to lowball the numbers of Iranian protestors slain.

They are lowballing but they have to keep a little cred
