      If you don’t want to accept that your government lies and you blindly believe it, remember to shut up please.

      You preemptively dismissed the notion that they are not credible as bullshit, do better. That’s very intellectually dishonest.

      Your first source, claiming the ridiculous 36,500 figure, is a London based Saudi funded progranda channel.

      The second highest figure, repeated by all the other western media, comes from HRANA, which is US based with undisclosed funding. Their parent organization clearly says on their website that they receive funding from CIA-linked National Endowment for Democracy

      HRAI Receives Donations From Individuals And Non-Profit Entities Only. Because The Organization Seeks To Remain Independent, It Doesn’t Accept Financial Aid From Neither Political Groups Nor Governments. These Limitations Are Essential To Maintaining Our Autonomy. Before March 2011, The Organization Received Donations Only From Members And Partners. But Since Then, HRAI Has Also Been Accepting Donations From National Endowment For Democracy, A Non-Profit, Non-Governmental Organization In The United States Of America.

      Totally trustworthy.

        You are a troll and probably don’t even knew what my government is. I could give you the same news from European countries, but you wouldn’t accept that either.

        You’d accept the Iranian newspaper that would not even mention the protests at all.

        So sad that people like you prioritize their agenda over rationalism…

          The Iranian government openly admitted to over 3k deaths, what are you suggesting?

          Indeed very sad.

              But your first source is a Saudi funded progranda channel claiming over 30k. You are war mongering, whether you like to admit it or not.

              They don’t claim to have “murdered” thousands, they claim under 3,000 civilians AND security personnel were killed, leaving 690 of the dead labeled as Israeli/US funded terrorists or armed instigators.

              And the US/Israel has been openly talking about installing the son of last puppet removed in the last revolution, and the CIA has a reputation for doing exactly that, so it’s not ridiculous.

              You don’t have to trust Iran, and I’m not defending the Iranian government, but stop bending backwards to accept the imperialist US narrative.

                If we aggregate the information, we will probably reach a range that this Wikipedia article mentions of 7k to 36k deaths.

                Khamenei acknowledged that “thousands of people” had been killed during the protests, blaming American president Donald Trump for the massacre and calling all protesters “rioters and terrorists” affiliated with the United States and Israel.[20] The Iranian government put the death toll at 3,117, stating that 2,447 were civilians and security forces, and the rest were “terrorists”.[21][22] The government published an official list of 2,986 victims. Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRANA) described the official list as mostly unverifiable due to the lack of sufficient identifying details.[23] Iran International stated on 3 February that it had its own confirmed list of 6,634 deaths, of which less than 100 were on the official list.[24] HRANA published a full report on 23 February 2026, including a detailed named list of 7,007 deaths.[1]

                Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres

                Calling protesters “agents from other countries” is the 1x1 of authoritarian regimes BTW. Belarus, Russian, Iran… They all do that all the time.
