Deaths in Iran's Crackdown on Protests Reach at Least 7,000, Activists Say
Human Rights Activists News Agency reports 7,002 killed in Iran's protest crackdown, more than double the government’s official toll of 3,117.
- On Thursday, activists reported the death toll has reached at least 7,002 in Iran's crackdown on nationwide protests, activists said Thursday.
- Iran's official figures show 3,117 deaths on January 21, 2026, but Iran's theocracy has historically undercounted fatalities, raising doubts about the true toll.
- HRANA, which relies on activist networks, has been accurate in previous counts while the tally rises slowly amid disrupted communication networks inside Iran, and the Associated Press cannot independently verify the death toll.
- The rising death toll adds to tensions inside Iran and complicates talks as Iran negotiating with the United States, while families of the dead begin traditional 40-day mourning.
- U.S. military movements included deploying USS Abraham Lincoln and warplanes to the Middle East while Senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani met in Qatar with Hamas and Houthi officials.
