 #Iran’s regime launched a deadly crackdown after recent #IranProtests.

-At least 600 killed, 4,000 injured & 12,000 arrested. Numbers are rising.

In Mahshahr alone (SW Iran), the IRGC dispatched tanks & locals say as many as 100 were massacred.

 “The worst violence documented so far happened in Mahshahr & its suburbs”
“The IRGC piled the dead onto the back of a truck & departed”
“A local reporter in Mahshahr said the total number of people killed in 3 days of unrest in the area had reached 130”

SHORT THREAD

1)
 @NordrumLars is being heavily criticized for gifting #Iran's regime with economic incentives despite the mullahs' brutal crackdown in response to #IranProtests.

Nordrum thanks Esfandyar Batmanghelidj (@yarbatman), a known #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist.
2)
 This is Batmanghelidj alongside Hamid Baeidinejad (@baeidinejad), Iran’s Ambassador to the UK at the regime's London Embassy on Oct. 18, 2018, during a session with members of the British & Iranian business community focusing on propaganda against U.S. sanctions.
3)
 For those interested, this thread sheds light on Batmanghelidj and proves why is a Iranian regime apologist/lobbyist.

 Meet @snarwani, a known #Iran apologist/lobbyist going the distance to whitewash the mullahs’ atrocious crimes in the brutal crackdown against #IranProtests.

Not surprised considering her being so fond of @JZarif & Tehran’s chief lobbyist @tparsi.
2)
 She talks about “security”, yet she won’t mention the fact that ruthlessly attacking protesters is how Iran’s mullahs define “security”.

Video from Gorgan, northern Iran

WARNING - DISTURBING FOOTAGE
3)
 She claims Iranians “support their government’s regional role”…
In latest #IranProtests, Iranians were chanting:

“Death to @Khamenei_ir”

and

“Not Gaza! Not Lebanon! My life for Iran!” in clear opposition to the regime & its regional role.

Protesters in Lebanon are gathering downtown and blocking some roads with burning tires against government attempts to increase taxes. Though it’s unclear, disorganized and chaotic, one thing is clear: people are frustrated w/ the economic situation.
This comes after fires that spread across the country and the state was helpless to put them out bc the government didn’t pay to maintain the aircraft capable of putting out fires. People have had enough it seems
Protests in Lebanon continue. So much discontent over decades of corruption, economic stagnation and decline and a political elite that enriched itself while the country crumbles. This is similar I think to the frustrations that provoked protests in Iraq.
