Meet the former fashion blogger and shady doctor behind the '30,000 dead' Iran psy-op

The claim of "30,000 killed" during two days of protests and rioting across Iran appears to be based largely on a single anonymous source, who admitted extrapolating that figure by assuming without evidence that "officially registered deaths related to the crackdown likely represent less than 10% of the real number of fatalities."

That quote was attributed by The Guardian to an alleged doctor whose real name the newspaper refused to publish, but whose identity it claimed to have verified.
