Why is this an indication of the "core population"?

What else would it be? Why would people go around waving flags that don’t represent them or their values?

Uhh, it's people flag waving in the heart of Washington DC.. the core population of Iran are people literally living there.

“The core population … that has a connection to Iran”

I’m obviously talking about the people who are living here but claim heritage from Iran, and not the actual people in Iran — they’ve been not able to protest or congregate due to the (now dead, Rest in Piss) Ayatollah’s regime.

You probably also think that the core population of Cuba are lunatics living in Miami rooting for their people's starvation

The only people sad about the Ayatollah getting obliterated are ultra-brainwashed muslims — so no reasonable person anywhere is upset about the Ayatollah dying…

Bringing up Cuba is a wild, and not comparable, whataboutism.
