Note, that in the darkness and current internet banned Iran, the toll might be much higher.
At least 12000 killed in Iran crackdown as blackout deepens.

Updated: 13:17 GMT
Iran is under a coordinated blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth. Internet cuts, crippled communications, media shutdowns, and intimidation of journalists and witnesses point to one goal: preventing a vast and historic crime from being seen.
In recent days, after receiving scattered but shocking and deeply troubling reports, Iran International has focused on verifying information to build a clearer picture of the scale of repression and the killings during the latest protests.
In a country where authorities deliberately restrict access to information, such an assessment is difficult and time-consuming ā particularly because rushing to publish incomplete casualty figures risks errors in documenting events and could distort the true scale of this tragedy.
From Sunday, the volume of evidence and the convergence of accounts reached a point where a relatively accurate assessment became possible.
Over the past two days, Iran Internationalās editorial board has reviewed ā through a rigorous, multi-stage process and in accordance with established professional standards ā information received from a source close to the Supreme National Security Council; two sources in the presidential office; accounts from several sources within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the cities of Mashhad, Kermanshah, and Isfahan; testimonies from eyewitnesses and families of those killed; field reports; data linked to medical centers; and information provided by doctors and nurses in various cities..

Maximum (āworst-caseā) aggregation
This version counts every major conflict where Iran or Iran-aligned forces were a significant participant, even when responsibility was shared with many other actors.
IranāIraq War (1980ā1988)
Upper estimate: ~1,000,000 deaths
(Some historians give 500kā1M total; this uses the top end)
Internal repression in Iran (1979ā2026)
Includes:
Revolution & early purges
1988 prison massacres
Protest killings (2009, 2019, 2022)
Current crackdown (your cited ~12,000)
High-end total: ~40,000
Syrian Civil War (2011ā2025)
Total war deaths (SOHR / UN high estimates): ~650,000
This count attributes the full death toll to the IranāAssadāRussia axis for maximum aggregation, even though responsibility is shared.
Yemen War (IranāHouthi axis)
High-end conflict death estimates (combat + indirect): ~400,000
Again, full attribution assumed for upper bound.
Hezbollah / IRGC international attacks
Lebanon, Argentina (1992, 1994), others:
~400
Iraq (post-2003 militias, sectarian war, ISIS era)
If all deaths involving Iran-backed militias are counted at the high end:
~250,000ā300,000
Hamas / PIJ conflicts
If all deaths in Gaza wars where Iran materially supported Hamas are included at maximum:
~40,000ā50,000
Highest Possible Grand Total
Deathsq:
IranāIraq War = 1,000,000
Syria = 650,000
Yemen = 400,000
Iraq militias = 300,000
Internal Iranian repression: 40,000
Hamas / PIJ conflicts = 50,000
Hezbollah terrorism = 400
TOTAL (upper bound)ā2.44 MILLION
