Classified documents reveal that over 36,500 people were killed during a two-day crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran. Iran International confirmed the figure after reviewing internal reports, medical accounts, and witness statements. The scale of killings makes it one of the deadliest episodes of civil unrest in modern history.

The IRGC Intelligence Organization reported rising death tolls in real-time, from 12,000 to over 36,500, suggesting chaotic and widespread violence. Medical sources estimate thousands died in major cities like Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan. Many victims were reportedly executed in hospitals or at home under false pretenses.

Eyewitnesses and medical staff described extrajudicial executions, with some wounded patients shot in intensive care. Families were charged "bullet fees" to reclaim bodies. Reports also indicate involvement of proxy forces from Iraq and Syria, pointing to coordinated state-backed brutality.

Iran International warns that final counts may be higher due to mass burial cover-ups and communication blackouts. Human rights lawyers call the events an “international crisis.” Independent verification remains difficult under current restrictions.
