At least 47% of executions carried out in Iran in 2025 had been related to drug offences, the UN human rights office said.
Iran appears to be using executions "as a tool of state intimidation," the United Nations said on Monday, as it denounced a jump in capital punishment globally in 2025. The Islamic republic reportedly executed 1,500 people last year, UN rights chief Volker Türk said in a statement.
"The scale and pace of executions suggest a systematic use of capital punishment as a tool of state intimidation, with disproportionate impact on ethnic minorities and migrants," he warned.
The spike in executions in Iran, which according to rights groups is the world's most prolific executioner after China, had contributed to "an alarming increase" in the use of capital punishment worldwide last year, Türk said.

In “progresssive” countries in the West, they’re aborted before they have the chance to commit crimes.
I wish I was wrong, but this “revolution” will not succeed. The Califate will keep killing unarmed citizens until it stops and they win.
Do you know Iran is awash in promiscuity, prostitution, and perversion?
The Mullahs have the guns the people don’t. Hard fact.
Ya think? I’m so glad experts told me what to think.
How many PhDs in the UN did it take to come to this conclusion? /s
If there was ever a place.....Tehran needs that.
Sick.
Tiny Singapore executes people for drug crimes. By hanging. No one cares. They hanged three a couple of months ago.
We executed the people on those little boats running cocaine and Freepers all cheered. We didn’t hang them, though. We just blew them up.

That’s how you fight a war on drugs.
If we were serious about our so-called “war on drugs” we’d be giving stiffer penalties out to drug pushers. Death penalty for big time traffickers of fentanyl would not be out of line. After all, they are mass murderers.
We’d be going after the banks laundering money for the cartels. This is the biggie.
We’d be building more rehab facilities. We’d be rounding up all the fentanyl zombies currently dragging their knuckles across our sidewalks and giving them the choice of rehab or jail. (As long as there’s demand and lots of $ to be made, there will be supply.)
We’d be building back our mental institutions instead of turning the mentally ill out on the streets to fend for themselves somehow and “self medicate” with street drugs.
As it is, Americans seem to think “drugs are fun” so what’s the big deal? :(
Oh that UN is soooo on top of things. /S
Lolol.
Once again, the pathetic UN has a “firm grasp of the obvious”.
Seriously? You think these people are being executed for drug offenses?? I have some swamp land in FL you might be interested in.
In Singapore? Yes, I do. In Iran? Who knows? Some, likely. Not all.
Drug business is how this mafia regime makes a big chunk of its money
