Count the Consequences
Iran’s regime: Amnesty and HRW peg ‘direct’ democide at maybe 2,000 to 3,000 direct killings since 2020 — protests crushed, executions spiked, forced disappearances. Add proxy conflicts (Yemen, Syria), maybe another 5,000 civilians over years.
Total estimate: ~10,000 lives . (Higher end 40,000)
