A video has been circulated on social media titled 'IRIB's Admission to the Killing of 23,000 People.' This claim is based on a clipped video of the morning news anchor's remarks on January 16, 2025, on the News Network. In this video, the anchor states: 'Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, the number of victims of terrorism has been estimated to be over 23,000,' and then cites the head of the Martyrs Foundation, mentioning that 'a significant number' has been added to this figure. Officials and state-affiliated media in Iran have not published any statistics on the casualties of recent protests, aside from general statements. The figure of '23,000 martyrs of terrorism' is a claim made by an organization called Habibillion, which claims to have documented it, and this figure has been published multiple times in Iranian media over the years. This figure and other similar statistics hold no credibility without independent verification. Since the severe crackdown on the protests in Iran in January 2025, the Islamic Republic claims that 'armed terrorists' have been 'terrorizing' people in the streets, while there is undeniable evidence of shooting and killing of protesters by the security forces of the Islamic Republic. Fact-checking indicates that the claim of 'IRIB's admission to the killing of 23,000 people' in the recent protests is rated as 'false.'
