It’s Like a War Zone

Iranian security forces are deliberately firing at protesters’heads to cause them debilitating injuries, local doctors have claimed, citing wounds inflicted on hundreds of patients they have treated.

Over 400 eye wounds from gunshots have been documented at a Tehran hospital by an ophthalmologist working there, according to the Guardian.

The British newspaper reported Tuesday that it received three messages from doctors about conditions in hospitals, which they say have been overwhelmed by demonstrators with gunshot wounds — most of them to the eyes and head.

Security forces have been seen using shotguns to fire metal pellets at protesters, as well as rifles with more lethal ammunition, according to the report.

“[Security forces] are deliberately shooting at the head and the eyes. They want to damage the head and the eyes so they can no longer see, the same thing they did in [2022],” one of the doctors was quoted as saying, referring to anti-government protests at the time.

According to the doctor, many of the injured had to have their eyes removed and were blinded as a result.

“Eyes were hit by birdshot pellets, and it was deliberate; they are shooting to kill,” he said.

A wave of injured people arriving for treatment, which spiked after Iran cut off internet access last Thursday, has left hospitals looking “like a war zone,” the doctor said.

“It’s like in the war movies where you see the injured soldiers getting treated on the open field,” he said. “We don’t have blood, we don’t have enough medical supplies.”

Security forces occasionally enter the medical centers to arrest injured protesters, he said.

Another doctor described treating injured protesters outside in the grounds of the hospital despite freezing temperatures, as there was no space left in the wards.

The US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights also accused Iranian authorities of seeking to intimidate protesters with mutilating injuries to the face and genitals.

“The evidence demonstrates that even when utilizing ‘less-lethal’ weapons, the Islamic Republic deliberately targets vital organs, transforming these tools into instruments of systematic mutilation and permanent disability to terrorize protesters,” a spokesperson said in the Guardian report.

TIMES OF ISRAEL

Selective Outrage

As with everything the radical Luciferian left does, it is couched in selective outrage. Crying wolf and painting themselves and their causes in fear mongering and victimhood.

Take for example the ongoing crisis in Iran. Iran is a rogue nation bent on not only destruction of Israel, but the United States and all we stand for. (Little satan first, big satan next.). Speaking of Israel and the US.

The left loves anti constitutional entities, choosing dictators over freedom loving people. Take for example choosing a non-existent Palestinian people who could have lived free in Gaza if not for allowing Hamas to take over. (Insert Bill Clinton saying his administration gave the Palestinians a state.) Hamas is financed in part from Iran. It seems the left of America and other nations love dictators and despots. Take Venezuela, the left screams about intervention there. Look at Iran, where is the outrage over gunning down the protesters in the streets. The Iranian people want freedom, isn’t that a cause to get behind not shrink like flowers after the first frost?

The Iranian regime has reportedly shut down the internet, cut electricity, and unleashed security forces using live fire against civilians. Yet tonight, hundreds of thousands are said to be back in the streets of Tehran, waving the lights of their phones in the darkness–silent signals to a watching world that they are still there. In an extraordinary act of defiance, reports indicate that hundreds of mosques have been burned, a declaration by ordinary Iranians that they are done with clerical rule and religious tyranny.

And yet–silence.

Where is the outrage, where is the international community standing with the Iranian people. A free and somewhat democratic Iran tops anything they have now. Where is the Western outrage? Where are the campus protests? Where are the celebrities, the social media campaigns, the carefully worded condemnations? The contrast is impossible to ignore. Protesters who claim to stand for human rights seem energized only when Israel is the villain. When Jews are involved, outrage becomes a public ritual. When a radical Islamist regime kills its own people, the moral urgency evaporates.

Something to think about.
