More than two thousand people have been killed during a violent crackdown on protests in Iran, according to reports from human rights organisations, as international attention intensifies and the United States responds with public statements and policy actions. Conflicting accounts from Iranian officials and independent groups, combined with an ongoing internet shutdown, have made it difficult to verify the true scale of the violence.
This report details confirmed figures released by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, known as HRANA, which says it has verified the deaths of at least 1,850 protesters over a 17-day period. The group reports that the confirmed toll also includes people affiliated with the government, uninvolved civilians, and children. HRANA states that the total number of confirmed deaths has reached at least 2,003, while it continues to review hundreds of additional reports linked to the unrest. Another international group, Iran Human Rights, has released its own figures based on limited provincial and hospital data.
Iranian authorities have offered a different explanation. An unnamed official told Reuters that around 2,000 people had been killed, attributing the deaths to what were described as terrorist groups, without providing a detailed breakdown. These competing narratives have emerged as international media organisations face severe restrictions on reporting from inside Iran due to a near-total internet and communications blackout.
The protests have reportedly spread to about 180 cities and towns across all 31 provinces. Initially sparked by anger over the collapse of Iran’s currency and the rising cost of living, the demonstrations quickly expanded into broader political demands. The situation escalated last Thursday, when protests were met with deadly force, according to multiple reports.
The script also outlines statements made by US President Donald Trump, who said he would seek accurate death toll figures and has announced measures including tariffs on countries trading with Iran. US defence officials have confirmed that a range of options has been briefed to the president. Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have addressed the unrest and blamed foreign-backed groups for the violence.
In addition, the report covers conditions in hospitals, footage from Tehran’s Kahrizak Forensic Centre, widespread arrests reported by HRANA, and the case of a 26-year-old detainee sentenced to death. This video presents a factual, script-based overview of the events as reported by human rights groups, international media, and official statements.
