      It’s not whataboutism, the protests are literally created by western-manufactured poverty, the US has admitted as much. Remember that the sanctions on Cuba are justified with the following:

      “to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government”. I’m quoting official US memos here.

      It’d be whataboutism if it was unrelated or looking to downplay something, it’s very much related as you would have never had riots without the west sanctioning them and collapsing their currency. End the sanctions now if you care about Iranians.
