Time magazine reported, citing two senior officials from Iran's Ministry of Health, that as many as 30,000 people may have been killed during street protests in Iran in just two days, January 8 and 9. According to these sources, the scale of the killings was such that the government's capacity to transport and bury the bodies was overwhelmed, and even the supply of body bags has run out. This internal figure, which had not been made public before, shows a significant discrepancy with the figure of 3,117 previously announced by officials close to the leader of the Islamic Republic. Time emphasized that it has not independently verified these numbers. However, the reported figure aligns with data secretly collected by doctors and rescue workers. This report comes amid widespread internet outages and severe restrictions on information dissemination, which continue to hinder access to accurate casualty statistics in Iran.
