    Saw this on the BBC article

    But it has not been able to independently verify the death toll - international news organizations are often refused visas to Iran which severely limits their ability to gather information there.

      Insane. When it comes to Gaza they always say “cannot verify” but never mention it is because Israel is blocking the journalist. Now with Iran they directly blame Iran for supposedly blocking some visas?
