Iran protest death toll rises to at least 140: Amnesty International
[Rudaw] At least 140 people are believed to have been killed in five days of protests in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
last week, according to updated figures released Monday by Amnesia Amnesty International.

Unrest sparked by a 300 percent hike in petrol prices on November 15 morphed into anti-government protest and caused havoc in the country for five days, spurring the authorities to order a vicious crackdown.

The organization revised its November 23-reported corpse count of 115 civilians.

"140+ Iranian protesters have been killed in 5 days. Iranian security forces shot unarmed people on streets, from rooftops & a helicopter. 1,000+ protesters have been arrested. The internet was blocked to stop the world from seeing this. Watch what's been happening in #Iran," Amnesty tweeted.

Monday’s updated tally coincided with huge rallies organised by the government and the paramilitary Basij to condemn the protesters and reaffirm their pledge to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
...the actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
"Believe me, we are in the middle of a big world war and at this moment you are in the process of defeating the Arrogance and believe me the war that raged in our streets in recent days was a global conspiracy," Hossein Salami the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told the gathering in Tehran.

Salami then proceeded to threaten the United States, the United Kingdom and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
with annihilation. "You have been struck with our decisive slap and were not able to respond," Salami said. "If you cross our red lines, we will destroy you."
