It's difficult to know exact figures. Just as we can't trust Hamas figures who inflate numbers, so do their bosses mullahcracy minimize numbers.

Opposition journalist Ilia Hashemi reported that a source, a hospital surgeon in Tehran, claimed the number of protesters killed by Iranian security forces in recent overnight unrest was higher than the approximately
1,060 fatalities reported during a recent "12-day war".
Key Points:
• Source of the Claim: Hashemi's information comes from conversations with eyewitnesses and a surgeon in Tehran who was in the operating room all night during the unrest in Tehran, Karaj, and Shahriar.
• The "12-Day War": The war referenced is a recent conflict between Israel and Iran which occurred around June 2025, and Iranian authorities had previously claimed a total of around 1,060 fatalities during that period.
• Verification: This statement is a claim by an opposition journalist and is part of "disturbing reports of multiple mass-casualty incidents" emerging amidst internet and phone outages in Iran, making independent verification difficult. Official Iranian sources have not confirmed these high death tolls from the protests.
• Context: Protests in Iran have a history of being met with brutal crackdowns by security forces, a point highlighted by various human rights organizations and news outlets.

IRANIAN OPPOSITION JOURNALIST SAYS: “MORE DEAD THAN IN THE 12-DAY-WAR”
Opposition journalist Ilia Hashemi says Iranian security forces killed more people during last night’s protests than died in the entire 12-day war (~1,060).
His claim is based on eyewitness accounts and a direct conversation with a hospital surgeon in Tehran.
“I was in the operating room all night,” the surgeon told him, adding that the number of protesters killed in Tehran, Karaj, and Shahriar was higher than the war’s death toll.
This comes amid an internet blackout and near-total information control. No official numbers. No independent access.
Hospitals overwhelmed, cameras off, narrative sealed.
If even partly true, it reframes the moment: the deadliest violence wasn’t external war - it was internal suppression, carried out in a single night.
