Syrian protestors from 2011 report being shot from the front and from the rear
I just saw a post on X allegedly of Iranian protestor saying regime is shooting them from 2 directions (from front and behind).
Straight away I was reminded of early 2011 Daraa protests were protestors said Assad regime was shooting them from the front but someone else was shooting them from the back. At the time they blamed Shabiha (pro regime thugs) but as the years went on more and more people were convinced that it was questionable agents seeking to rapidly incite violence which worked.
Just be careful Iran. Work out your issues within, don't make the Syrian mistake and involve foreigners, this goes to both regime supporter and anti regime protestors. Protect your people and property and infrastructure.
