“hundreds of thousands get slaughtered in Sudan, perish of starvation in Yemen, and get slaughtered by their own government in one weekend in Iran”
MISLEADING
While evidence confirms a civil war in Sudan with high risks of starvation and death, and general instability in Yemen and Iran, the claim's specific phrasing ('hundreds of thousands get slaughtered... in one weekend in Iran') is an extreme exaggeration not supported by the provided evidence. The evidence confirms starvation in Sudan, but not the specific 'one weekend' massacre in Iran.
