Saw this on the BBC article

But it has not been able to independently verify the death toll - international news organizations are often refused visas to Iran which severely limits their ability to gather information there.

I’m still skeptical. My Google news feed is shockingly supportive of the strikes.

Insane. When it comes to Gaza they always say "cannot verify" but never mention it is because Israel is blocking the journalist. Now with Iran they directly blame Iran for supposedly blocking some visas?

Also seeing plenty of headlines of 'Iran attacking gulf allies' while conviently omitting the attacks being on US occupational forces and bases

I'm seeing a concerted censorship effort attempting to minimize the damage outside of Iran on all the platforms currently.

"after" is funny to me, as if someone came after the strike and shot them

Just saw a nytimes briefing from one of their Iranian tokens and she was saying, ‘we have confirmed reports of 10 casualties at the girls’ school’ without even the slightest hint of trepidation

Artifact of information barrier.
