"the logistics of killing 30000 people in 2 days is absurd. "

The Nazis managed to murder 35000 people within 2 days at Babiy Yar, in one single region of Ukraine, with no prepared specialized infrastructure, just bussing them to a ravine and shooting them.

Back then Kiev region had about 2 million people. The entire Iran has 90 million, 45 times more.

Although only a participation of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 Jews had been expected at first, more than 30,000 Jews arrived who, until the very moment of their execution, still believed in their resettlement, thanks to an extremely clever organization.

"no prepared specialized infrastructure, just bussing them to a ravine and shooting them" ... yet "extremely clever organization", a special order posted 3 days prior, which the victims followed. How do you envision such a scenario playing out in Iran?

And why not simply show the evidence? Whoever makes the claim, unless they're lying, is basing the claim on something. So where is it?
