September 16, 2022: Mahsa Amini died in Kasra Hospital, Iran, after being arrested, tortured, and beaten for allegedly breaking the Iranian Government's strict mandatory hijab law. She was 22 years old and her murder, for that is what it was, triggered unprecedented nationwide protests, which continue in more muted forms to this day.

What does "for that is what it was" mean? Does it mean "because that was/is the cruel reality in Iran"?
