I usually hear this what-aboutism argument from the people who benefit from current undemocratic regime.

If another country did/do something wrong, that doesn't justify Iran's actions. everyone is responsible for their own action and the reality is current Iranian regime has killed many thousands of it's own citizens.

Iran shutting the plane down and denying for 3 days is not justifiable by any means.

out of curiosity, what is your opinion on 1500 protesters who died during 2019-2020 protests? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Iranian_prot...

should we ignore this too because Israel also killed bunch of people?

> It is ironic how the number decreased from 1500 to 300 in recent report

even if a single person dies, that matters.

toning it down to 300 doesn't make it look better. each one of them is a human who was killed by Iranian regime.

here is Reuters confirming that number https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-protests-specialrepo...
