Meet The Single, Shady Source Behind Time Magazine's Claim That Iran Killed 30,000 Protestors.
Time Magazine Made A Shocking Claim That Iran Killed 30,000 Protestors In Two Days, But The Claim Comes From A Single, Highly Questionable Source.

The Dissident

Jan 25, 2026

Amir Parasta has also been cited as an authority on the death toll of Iranian protestors in other mainstream outlets, including DW, Times of Israel, New York Post , Haaretz, and the Times of London.

However, a closer look into Amir Parasta shows that he is not a neutral doctor, but a lobbyist for the Israeli-backed son of the deposed Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, and for an American/Israeli regime change operation in Iran.

Amir Parasta serves as a “subject matter advisorat NUFDIran, a lobbying group for the Israeli/U.S. backed puppet Reza Pahlavi and for regime change in Iran.

The group’s social media accounts have amplified Reza Pahlavi’s support for U.S. intervention, writing: “An Interior Ministry official has joined Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s calls for strikes, refusing to return to office. He tells Iran International: ‘We are certain that Trump will act, but the people are waiting. Tell Trump that regime agents have targeted people with G3 rifles.’”

He's analogous to Ahmed Chalabi who was the source of false intelligence on Iraq's WMD program for Cheney/Bush.

Iran is another war but the propaganda approach roughly stays the same. The other external source for the Iraq WMD claim was the Italian intelligence agency as the source of the false Niger yellowcake uranium story.
