US EditionAt Least 6,126 People Killed in Iran’s Crackdown on Nationwide Protests, Activists Say
Activists report 6,126 killed and over 41,800 arrested during Iran's protests, amid a U.S. carrier group's deployment in the Mideast to support potential military actions.
- On Tuesday, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported at least 6,126 killed in Iran's crackdown nationwide, publishing the updated toll on January 27, 2026.
- The fall of Iran's rial prompted nationwide protests beginning Dec. 28, which authorities met with a violent crackdown and more than two weeks of internet blackout.
- The group provided a detailed breakdown showing at least 5,777 protesters, 214 government-affiliated forces, 86 children and 49 non-demonstrating civilians among the dead, with over 41,800 arrests reported.
- Militia leaders warned of fierce retaliation and Hezbollah, Lebanese militant group, declined to specify its response, while some Iran-backed militias signalled willingness to launch attacks amid heightened tensions.
- Independent verification remains limited as authorities cut communications, and the Associated Press says it cannot assess the toll while Amir Saeid Iravani alleges U.S. incitement without evidence.
