Excerpt -

Tallies offered by respected human rights groups have climbed into the hundreds, but those organizations count only bodies that have been identified,..."

However, starting with reports from a handful of Tehran hospitals, an informal, expatriate group of academics and professionals calculated that protester deaths could have reached 6,000 through Saturday. The calculation does not include bodies carried by authorities not to hospitals but directly to morgues—such as the hundreds lain on the floors and parking lot of the Kahrizak Forensic Center, outside the capital. According to a social media post, the scene shows only bodies killed on Thursday night.

Iran official admits 2,000 killed amid protest violence | The Jerusalem Post https://share.google/FFT5pV3Ixs7s8hXog

If they admit 2,000 the number is much higher

Hemad Nazari on X: “January 2026, Iran. An Iranian woman lies next to her sister’s body after she was killed by the Islamic Republic during the protests. No context can soften this image. No statement can justify it. This is not unrest. This is the cost of demanding basic rights.

I guess they took America’s officials promise of having their back a little too seriously...

And that official would be? You mean the man who often writes checks that can’t be cashed?

I don’t understand what our game plan is going forward. So, thousands are dead and now President Trump wants to negotiate a deal with the mullah monsters? What deal?!

Just level the government centers and drive these maniacs out of power and back to the 7th century where they belong.
Free the Iranian people! Don’t blow this historic opportunity, Mr. President!

At the moment, I have no answer for you.
I can only hope that Trump’s repeated promises to help the people and punish the regime weren’t just empty promises.

I don’t have Facebook. Just giving people an option. If you Google online for the pic, you’ll find it.

It wasn’t blocked on X or Facebook yesterday. I have no control over what they decide to censor and when.

Doesn’t look like our response was ‘locked and loaded’. That statement implied a swift response. Just saying.

Latest estimate is 12,000 slaughtered.


“Iran International” media outlet, associated with the Iranian opposition and broadcasting from the UK, claims:

The Iranian regime has killed 12,000 people in the current wave of protests, most of them on the last Thursday and Friday (January 8-9) – when the media blackout began.

The only way that regime change will be accomplished in Iran is if the Iranian military or a large portion of it goes to the side of the protesters, as happened in Hungary in 1956 and in Romania in 1989. Iran is not Gaza; it is a nation of 90 million people and encompasses 636,000 square miles. A bombing campaign would do nothing to topple the mullahs but would destroy infrastructure on which millions of Iranians depend. I believe U.S. and Israeli agents are on the ground assisting the rebels but neither America nor Israel have the resources to put sufficient “boots on the ground” to topple the regime.

Many reports are now saying at least 10,000.
It’s horrible.
