All the people saying that Iran is just like us were right!
- Depends which "us" you're referring to.
  
  The United States, I'm an American.
  
  I have a good feeling I know which US they are talking about but they're also an Israel sympathizer so who knows really.
The AP article, mentions 'southeast Iran' and Kerman, but includes a map of Iran with a marker for the capital, Tehran. They couldn't be bothered to spend 30s and lookup where it actually happened.
It's like posting an article about a school shooting in Arizona and putting up a map of US and only labelling Washington, DC. I get it's not the main point of the article, but JFC, your job is to inform. 🤦🏻‍♂️
FWIW: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kerman,+Kerman+Province,+Iran/@30.0776126,57.7332476,7z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x3f021851dbb1d0d1:0xcd1f7455f5d78eb6!8m2!3d30.2839379!4d57.0833628!16zL20vMDNncGtn
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A 30-year-old man gunned down 12 of his relatives Saturday in a remote rural area in southeast Iran, the deadliest shooting reported in decades.
Head of the justice department of the province of Kerman, Ebrahim Hamidi, told the semiofficial ISNA news agency the gunman opened fire on his father, brother and other relatives early morning in a village because of family disputes.
The report, which did not identify the assailant, stated he used a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Local media report on occasional shootings, but this attack has had the highest death toll in Iran, where citizens are only legally allowed hunting rifles, common in rural areas.
In 2016, a 26-year-old man shot 10 relatives in a rural area in the south of Iran.
In recent years, violence has spiked in the country suffering from deteriorating economic conditions coupled with crushing American sanctions that helped spark soaring inflation and increasing unemployment.
The original article contains 186 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 17%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Looks like they still have some burguerculture to get rid off
