PROTESTS IN IRAN

Due to the rapid depreciation of the national currency against foreign currency and the deepening economic crisis in Iran on December 28, 2025, the demonstrations that started under the leadership of tradesmen in the Tehran Grand Bazaar soon spread throughout the country. Following the violent events in the capital Tehran on January 8, the government cut off internet access throughout the country.

While Iranian officials did not announce an official number regarding the total loss of life in the demonstrations, the US-based Iranian Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) claimed that 5 thousand 858 people lost their lives and 41 thousand 283 people were detained in the events.
