Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby: BREAKING: In a new Times report, they estimate 16,500 Iranian civilians being murdered in less than [a] week by the Islamic Republic. Estimates now put the death toll between 16,500 to over 35,000. Jan 18, 2026
No idea know convinced Trump that Islamic dictator Erdogan is a “good guy”, he is pushing now on the anti Kurd campaign too
Exactly my point. You’re right
Iran must be free—and Christian!
Yes it was. And at that time the media was reporting a few hundred, so 10,000 or more seemed too exaggerated to believe
BREAKING:
At 9:30 PM Tehran time, all channels belonging to the regime’s state broadcaster (IRIB) were hacked. Footage from the Iran uprising and messages from Prince Reza Pahlavi aired nationwide for 10 minutes.
I hear it’s over 50,000.
I hear it’s over 50,000.
The IRGC is also using foreign fighters from Pakistand and Iraq and other places to do the killings because Iranian IRGC won’t.
Jonty30: I hear it’s over 50,000
Very possible. The islamic fascist regime also imported proxis from Iraq. It was all under the darkness of internet and phone ban.
The reason why the world isn’t stepping up to help Iranians is because the Iranian government bought off the world and many of our leaders are in their files over acts of corruption.
That is what I am hearing anyway.
Sources who claim over 50,000 were massacred by the Islamic Republic Republic:
50,000
Boris Alexander Beissner @boris_beissner:
Latest figures: around 50,000 protesters killed in #Iran.
A senior Iranian opposition figure said:
“There are at least 1,500 dead in every hospital. Hundreds of additional morgues have been opened in Iran. According to evening estimates, the death toll ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 people.”
The British Foreign Secretary responds to events in Iran: “I fear that the death toll is higher than reported.”

Internet cut off, death toll in the thousands: Iran shuts itself off from the world
[...]
Opposition media speak of figures as high as 50,000. These numbers cannot be verified due to the communications blackout...

“Approximately 50,000 Iranians have been killed. The regime demands between $5,000 and $10,000 from families to release the bodies,” Iranians in Georgia say.
Iranians in Georgia have been protesting for several consecutive days outside the Iranian embassy, denouncing the Islamic regime. They say information from inside Iran indicates that residents are unable to leave their homes, as security forces are firing on civilians in the streets, including children as young as 5 and 15.

Cyrus S 🇺🇸 @CyrusShares:
The estimates we’re getting from inside #Iran exceed 50,000 dead protesters and the regime is planning to charge every protester with Moharrebeh (war against God) and sentence them to death in the kangaroo courts, execute them by the 1000s shortly after
The regime must be attacked and toppled or it’s going to destroy Trump’s popularity. The ball is in Trump’s court.

A doctor inside Iran delivers a stark warning: the killing is widespread, hospitals are buckling, and the blackout is hiding the scale of the bloodshed. Bodies stack up, makeshift morgues fill with grief, and much of it remains unseen beyond Iran’s borders, CNN reports.

Other Voices: Please do not look away from what is happening in Iran.
Silence is not an option as friends and family in Iran face violence, writes this member of the Iranian-Canadian community in North Vancouver.

But when we speak directly to people inside Iran – family members, friends, relatives – they tell us the scale of the violence is unimaginable. Some say the death toll is much higher, maybe even 50,000 people.
Pause for a moment and imagine what 50,000 lives mean. That is not just a number. It is the equivalent of entire communities erased – multiple small cities wiped off the map in silence.
And yet, because this killing is happening in darkness, it does not seem to shake the world the way it should.
And now, the internet inside Iran has been largely shut down.
This silence is not accidental. It is deliberate. It is how violence is hidden.

All hands on deck! Every day, the Islamic Republic massacres thousands of Iranians amid brutal internet blackouts and savage repression. Yet the courageous people of Iran are risking everything for freedom and dignity. .... A world without the Islamic Republic is a better, freer world for all to live in...
PS: Some reports indicate the regime has killed at least 50,000 protesters in two weeks amid this deadly crackdown, making this one of the bloodiest chapters in Iran’s modern history. The world must not look away. #R2PforIran

UPDATE: 20260117-1630Z
Been so few changes since this morning that I still don’t think the US is serious about dealing with Iran right now. I hope that changes, because the death toll could quite easily be 50,000+

Lots of overnight movements to Ramstein both from CONUS & various Middle Eastern bases, and various non-US evacuation flights (?) still occuring.

Iranian people need help.
It doesn’t matter your political or religious views, there is a crime against humanity going on.
We can’t even count how many dead people there are, it could be north of 50,000 at this stage.

I just spoke to a friend in Iran who just got back online. He said the Islamic Republic hired terrorist militias—Hashd al-Shaabi and Fatemiyoun Division—professional killers shooting people indiscriminately in the streets and in front of their homes. The death toll is far higher.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Reports coming out of Iran suggest the death toll may already be over 50,000.
In a country of 90 million, everyone knows someone who’s been murdered.
And this number will rise again when the internet comes back and the world finally sees what happened.
🆘 IRAN 🆘
جمهوری اسلامی همه ایران رو دادخواه کرده!
از هر خانواده ایی حداقل یک نفر کشته شده🥺❤️🩹

👑Fereshteh Gilaki @fereshtehgilaki:
The IRGC terrorist regime has deployed chemical agents and killed more than 50,000 unarmed protesters within a two-day period. Approximately 330,000 Iranians are currently injured and have no access to medical assistance or hospital care.
Shame on you for standing by a regime that has done nothing but commit atrocities against the people of Iran, while you try to deny their rights by whitewashing the IRGC terrorist regime.
Iranians have suffered for the past 47 years. However, as unarmed Iranian protesters chant, “This is the final battle.” Pahlavi will return, despite your whitewashing and Khamenei’s murders.
