Douglas Murray on the Iranian Uprising and Global Media Silence

The Iranian Uprising

• 🇮🇷 The Iranian people have risen up once again against their totalitarian theocratic government that has controlled the country since 1979.
• ⚠️ Previous uprisings have been met with great barbarity, but the current protests are larger in scale and met with even greater sadism and murderousness by the ruling regime.
• 💔 Tens of thousands, potentially over 50,000 people, have been massacred on the streets of Iran in recent weeks.

Media and Government Response

• 🤫 A notable aspect is the amazing silence from the American media, Western cities, and university campuses regarding the events in Iran.
• 🌐 The Ayatollah has attempted to suppress information by shutting off the internet and electricity, hoping the world will not notice the atrocities being committed.
• ❓ The critical question is whether the world will notice these events despite the regime's efforts to conceal them.
