Iran: 12,000 to 20,000 fatalities in protests - new shocking data

According to TSN.ua: In Iran, following a partial restoration of telephone communication, an unprecedented level of violence by the authorities against the people has been recorded. According to estimates by activists and medics, the number of fatalities is at least 12,000, and possibly even 20,000 people. This data indicates the extraordinary scale of violence that has been applied during the protests, which have become the largest in nearly 50 years.

The horrific figures reporting the death of individuals raise concerns not only in Iran but also on the international stage. British intelligence had previously suggested that the number of victims could be around 2,000 people. However, verified data indicates significantly larger losses. A video confirmed by CBS News shows the bodies of at least 366 deceased in the morgue of a suburb of Tehran, highlighting the scale of the tragedy.

International reaction and human rights violations

The reaction of the international community, including U.S. President Donald Trump, is also significant. Trump canceled all meetings with Iranian officials and urged Iranian patriots to continue protests, stating:

“Iranian patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Keep names of murderers and abusers. They will pay a heavy price… HELP IS ON THE WAY.”

Furthermore, the situation in Iran has raised concerns that 'the regime has crossed all red lines', as Mahmoud Amiri-Moghaddam noted. This indicates a serious level of human rights violations that could have far-reaching consequences for both Iran and international relations. The protests that have erupted in the country reflect deep dissatisfaction within the population regarding the government’s policies and the socio-economic conditions they live in.

The situation in Iran continues to remain tense as the scale of violence and the number of casualties cause deep concern in the global community. It is noted that such events could lead to new sanctions against Iran and increased international pressure on the authorities. The protest moods resulting from socio-economic difficulties and political repressions may have lasting effects on regional stability and Iran's relations with other countries.
