Towards the end it says..

Amiry-Moghaddam of Iran Human Rights said the death toll could be higher than 20,000, based on evidence reviewed by his organization.

    With such a large difference between these estimates, it makes 36500 seem suspiciously precise. Comes across like a significant digit violation.

    IHR is CIA-backed, and are thus prone to inflate these counts to justify an invasion.

      The CIA is definitely operating in Iran. Nobody reasonable will deny that. Mossad is too, guaranteed. How inflated their numbers are, I don't know, but even just the confirmed numbers of dead both officially and unofficially are too high.

      At this point they need to split the country so people who want to live differently can do so. Maybe that would prevent needing to bomb the Iranian government into oblivion.
