The scale of the carnage in Iran appears to be far worse than initially feared, with new reports suggesting the death toll could range between 12,000 and 20,000 people. As the regime’s internet blackout partially fractures, horrifying details and footage are emerging, painting a picture of a systematic slaughter that British officials warn may be “significantly higher” than previous estimates.
The Scale of the Killing
* Catastrophic Death Toll: Sources inside Iran and opposition networks have told CBS News that at least 12,000 people—and possibly as many as 20,000—have been killed in the crackdown.
* UK Confirmation: British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that while the UK government believes there “may have been 2,000 people killed,” she fears the true number is exponentially higher.
* Hospital Raids: Security forces are reportedly raiding private hospitals in Tehran, threatening staff to surrender the names of injured protesters, effectively criminalizing medical care.
Visual Evidence: The “Morgue Video”
* Verified Footage: A shocking 16-minute video, verified by CBS News, shows hundreds of bodies piled up at a forensic center in the Tehran suburb of Kahrizak.

* Gruesome Details: The footage depicts bodies with gunshot wounds and shotgun pellet injuries, while crowds of weeping families attempt to identify their loved ones.
* Risk to Sources: The video was smuggled out by a source who traveled 600 miles to find an upload connection, highlighting the desperate measures activists are taking to break the information blockade.
International & Political Response
* President Trump’s Promise: In a direct message to “Iranian Patriots,” President Trump tweeted, “HELP IS ON ITS WAY,” and announced the cancellation of all meetings with Iranian officials.
* US Military Options: Pentagon officials confirm the President has been briefed on “a wide array of military and covert tools” that go beyond conventional airstrikes.
* Opposition Leadership: Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, calling for immediate intervention, stated that the “best way to ensure there will be less people killed in Iran is to intervene sooner.”
The Situation on the Ground
* Continued Blackout: Internet and text services remain largely blocked for a fifth consecutive day, creating a “solitary confinement” environment for the entire population.
* Regime Narrative: Iran’s police chief continues to blame “foreign-influenced terrorists” for the violence, a claim widely rejected by the public.
* Public Sentiment: Activists report that over 80% of the population opposes the current regime, with a consensus forming around “anyone who can remove the Islamic Republic.”
