Iran killed thousands of protestors, they’ve admitted at least that much, but they probably haven’t killed tens of thousands like western media has been alleging. These people are idiots for thinking Iran did nothing wrong, but that doesn’t mean you have to believe the massively inflated numbers coming out of western media. It’s logistically implausible and borders on the absurd.
And yes, the reporting on this is being done to manufacture consent for military action against Iran, not because the US government just cares so very much about the Iranian protestors’ cause or for human rights. There’s truth in the reporting, but it’s selective and exaggerated for a reason.
I’m trying to argue that although the users posted above are wrong about Iran’s atrocities being outright lies, they are correct that the western media reporting about it is to serve as a pretext for military action.
Again you are generalising about “western media”. which “western media” alleges they have “killed tens of thousands”? Lots haven’t, in fact I haven’t encounted a single one which did.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue here so this comment doesn’t make any sense to me.
