The Silenced Third Voice: How Two Hegemonies Rewrite Iran

This article examines the two dominant narratives surrounding Iran in international media, both of which simplify the complex society into a binary framework and marginalize the Iranian people's voice. The Islamic Republic's narrative frames external threats as the primary issue, deflecting accountability for repression and delegitimizing protest. It also instrumentalizes human rights issues to maintain moral legitimacy without addressing the regime's crimes. The Pahlavi narrative presents external powers as saviors, reducing Iran to a project of salvation. Both narratives erase the Iranian people's right to resist and their role as political authors of their own future.

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000, According to Local Health Officials

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000, According to Local Health Officials. Two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health told TIME that as many as 30,000 people could have been killed in the streets of Iran, indicating a dramatic surge in the death toll. The government’s internal count of the dead far surpasses the toll of 3,117 announced by regime hardliners. The 30,000 figure is also far beyond tallies being compiled by activists. The Health Ministry’s two-day figure roughly aligns with a count gathered by physicians and first responders, and also shared with TIME. A slaughter on that scale, in the space of 48 hours, had experts on mass killing groping for comparisons. The only parallel offered by online databases occurred in the Holocaust. In Iran, the killing fields extended across the country where, since Dec. 28, hundreds of thousands of citizens had assembled in the streets chanting first, for relief from an economy in freefall, and soon for the downfall of the Islamic regime.

Iran report says 16,500 dead in ‘genocide under digital darkness’

A new report from doctors in Iran reveals that at least 16,500 protesters have been killed and 330,000 injured in the brutal crackdown by the clerical regime. The protests, which began in response to hyperinflation and the weakening currency, have been met with extreme violence from the Iranian government, including the use of military-grade weapons and live ammunition. The regime has also implemented a complete communications and internet shutdown, leaving many Iranians unable to communicate with their loved ones. The Sunday Times obtained the report from doctors on the ground, who spoke using satellite technology to bypass the internet shutdown.

Demonstrations across Europe support Iran protests

AI score to posts

I don't find the AI generated summary very useful. I think it's the poster's job to come up with that information. I think if you can score/evaluate a post by AI it will be a much greater. It would be great if you could show this as a metadata next to each post: Political lean
