Let's pause for a while and think about who controls the dissection of bodies, and who can tell coroners to sign statements in Iran.

Yeah, the Iranian government which just supressed the protests. And desperately needs a scapegoat.

True for sure. Also the source is TASS. On the other hand it's also true that Israel has interest in toppling the Iranian regime. It's a well established fact that Israel 's Mossad operates within Iran and funnelling weapons furthers that interest. I don't doubt Israel has done whatever they could to help the protest topple the regime, and I also don't doubt the Iranian regime did what they could to pin this on Israel and other foreign actors to deflect responsibility.

Israel even publicly admitted they have plenty of Mossad agents in the protest

Because Israel is always honest.

When they boast about their crimes or gleefully display them, yes.

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah there's no way they would take credit for stuff just to escalate violence against Iranians 🙄

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How would taking credit for shooting Iranian children/supplying weapons to shoot Iranian children escalate violence against Iranians?

They want the narrative to be that the "Iranian regime" is shooting peaceful protestors, and for the US to bomb Iran...

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mosad like ISIS take credit for everything, because it induces a paranoia in their enemies.

Pretending nobody in Iran has agency except Mosad agencies is just helping Mosad, great job.

That's a dumb take and it's not at all what I said. The Iranian government is capable of shooting civilians, and the Israeli government who proudly admits having many infiltrators in Iran and has conducted a massive progranda campaign prop the Zionist shah as a (exiled when his brutal US installed dictator father was overthrown) democracy loving liberal is known for shooting toddlers in the head... To dismiss that they could be involved is... just idiotic. Good job.

I know this has nothing to do with it, just trying to gauge your honesty. What is the Hannibal Directive?
