BBC Persian is generally considered a credible source, though it may have a critical stance towards the Iranian government.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, during situations like the nationwide protests of 2019, attempts to regain control over society through widespread repression and instilling fear. However, the government's activities are not limited to the period of protests. An organized effort to construct a government narrative regarding the violent crackdown on protesters, aimed at legitimizing widespread repression and upcoming unfair trials, has begun concurrently with the violent control of protests.
