The "informal and cordial" meeting was also attended by a State TV video crew who had stage-managed the scene of the utterly poor family in the underprivileged neighborhood in Shahryar, West of the capital Tehran before Shamkhani's arrival.

Shamkhani did not explain where the protesters were killed if they were not part of any protests. Other Iranian officials including IRGC Deputy Commander Ali Fadavi had also claimed earlier that protesters shot each other.

This comes while none of the videos posted on Iranian TV as well as those aired on foreign-based satellite TVs show any armed protesters.

In fact, thousands of videos show civilians killed by the regime's security forces.

Some other officials such as the Parliament Presidium member Amir Hossein Qazizadeh Hashemi have gone a step further, claiming armed protesters were shooting security forces, mindless of the fact that the victims are ordinary men & women rather than security forces personnel.
