Trump says he bombed Iran

[Kwaka]

83.7% enriched uranium

The enrichment process ain't that clear, lots of different stages on the way to 90% weapons grade. The first bit takes a while, trickles in after that. Then have to solidify, arm and test for Iran to say FU to any more war. This was one of the goals for why those that worked on it done what they did.

But we're not the terrorists 

We are the victims

Don't forget that

The Iranian government has killed thousands of its own citizens over the last five years (roughly 2021–early 2026), primarily through two main channels: lethal crackdowns on protests and judicial executions (hangings, often after unfair trials). Exact totals are impossible to determine due to the regime's opacity, internet blackouts, reprisals against families and witnesses, and underreporting. Independent human rights groups, UN experts, and media investigations provide the most credible estimates, while official Iranian figures are consistently lower and often attribute deaths to "terrorists," "rioters," or unrelated causes.

Major Protest Crackdowns (Unlawful Killings by Security Forces)
These account for the largest spikes in deaths:
• 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests (sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in morality police custody): Security forces killed at least 551 people, including 68 children and 49 women, across multiple provinces. Most deaths resulted from gunfire, with some involving beatings or other excessive force. UN investigators and groups like Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) and HRANA documented this as part of a widespread, systematic crackdown involving disproportionate lethal force.
• 2025–2026 nationwide protests (erupting late December 2025 and escalating dramatically in January 2026): This was by far the deadliest episode. Estimates vary widely due to communication blackouts and mass burials:
• Iranian government: 3,117 total deaths (including some security forces; many others labeled "terrorists"). They released a partial list of ~2,986–3,000 names.
• Human rights activists (e.g., HRANA, IHRNGO): Verified 6,000–6,872 deaths (mostly protesters, including children), with thousands more under investigation—potentially pushing totals to 22,000+.
• UN Special Rapporteur and medical sources: At least 5,000, possibly as high as 20,000. Some hospital and morgue accounts (via The Guardian and others) suggest the true toll from the January 8–9 massacres alone could exceed 30,000, with evidence of shootings in hospitals, mass graves, and systematic concealment.
• Other reports: Up to 36,500 in extreme upper estimates, including some government-affiliated personnel.
Smaller protests and incidents (e.g., 2019–2020 carryover effects or localized unrest) added hundreds more in the broader period, but the 2022 and 2025–2026 waves dominate.
Judicial Executions
Iran has one of the world's highest per-capita execution rates, often for drug offenses, murder, or vague political charges like "enmity against God" (moharebeh) or "corruption on earth" (efsad-fil-arz). Many trials involve torture-tainted confessions and lack due process. These figures are separate from protest killings but include some protesters or dissidents executed post-arrest.
• 2021–2024 trend: Executions rose steadily. Roughly 300–500+ per year early on, surging to 853 in 2023 and 972 in 2024 (per Amnesty International and IHRNGO). Drug-related cases made up a large share (~50%), alongside murder and some political/security charges. At least dozens tied to the 2022 protests.
• 2025: A record year, with 1,000+ by September (Amnesty, IHRNGO), rising to over 1,300 or even 2,200+ by year-end in some tallies. This was the highest in decades, described as unseen since the late 1980s. Political prisoners and ethnic minorities (e.g., Baluch, Kurdish, Afghan nationals) were disproportionately affected.
• Early 2026: Executions continued at a high rate (hundreds reported in the first months), including some linked to the new protests.
Over five years, executions likely total 4,000–6,000+, with a sharp acceleration in 2023–2026.
Overall Estimate for Last 5 Years
Adding the components:
• Protest killings: ~600 (2022) + several thousand to 30,000+ (2025–2026), with credible mid-range figures in the low-to-mid thousands for verified cases.
• Executions: Several thousand.
• Rough total range for Iranian citizens killed by the government: Low thousands (conservative verified minimums from groups like Amnesty/HRW) to tens of thousands (accounting for higher protest estimates and underreporting). The 2025–2026 crackdown alone likely accounts for the majority of the toll.
These deaths include direct shootings by security forces, executions, suspicious prison deaths, and related violence. The regime often denies responsibility or inflates "terrorist" attributions. Human rights organizations emphasize that many killings violate international law as extrajudicial or disproportionate.
Figures evolve as more evidence emerges despite restrictions, and sources like IHRNGO, HRANA, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and UN rapporteurs are the primary trackers. For the most current details, refer to their ongoing reports.

China is already losing Iran in its sphere of influence; it will fight for North Korea, Taiwan, and throughout the South China Sea.

And do you also believe only 5 or 6 Americana Troops have dies so far? With the plane count going on, not surprised Trump is looking for an exit. 
 

Honestly, some parts of me I can't believe it's not a full-fledged World War already. Russia/NATO and Israel/US and the Middle East have been hammered into my generation's head as the benchmarks to worldwide conflagration, and yet here I sit sipping my coffee with barely a concern.

This is a big system, it takes time. The larger it is, the slower it moves. Hope you have a good coffee supply.

Why do the debates always devolve into me "spamming" the board about corruption?

Because every single time I post something about the war or Trump, you are compelled to respond with a rebuttal 

Which then triggers the spiral into the stupid, senseless back and forth

So to prevent that from happening 

I'm going to ignore your replies from this post forward 

You claimed you had me on 'ignore' but I guess that didn't work out

In other news, Democrats are preparing to take back Congress and America

That's definitely difficult to believe BUT...

You can't hide deaths in the military for long #1, AND most importantly, if they tried, they would be easily caught before the midterms and 2028. Eventually, the heroes come home through Dover...

We could be actually focusing on liberating Iranians, empowering them to rise up and reclaim their country 

Instead, we're creating the next generation of extremists and terrorists by destroying their infrastructure

I loathe the hell out of Lindsey Graham but...

[Kwaka]

The Iranian government has killed thousands of its own citizens

So a county of 90M kills 10'000's. How does that compare with Gaza and 100'000's dead from a population of 2-3M?
