What is HRANA, the US-based group behind Iran’s death toll figures?
AI Summary
HRANA, a US-based human rights organization, has reported a death toll of at least 2,615 people in Iran's recent protests, which began in late December 2025 over economic conditions. The Iranian government claims that around 300 people have died, while opposition activists say the number is significantly higher, with estimates ranging from 1,000 to over 3,400 protesters killed. Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated since President Donald Trump's comments on military intervention. An ongoing internet blackout has hindered reporting, but HRANA's figure of 2,615 deaths has been widely cited. The Iranian government has denied exaggerating the death toll, while Qatar has confirmed personnel had been removed from a US airbase in response to regional tensions. The protests have resulted in clashes between demonstrators and security forces, with more than 100 security personnel killed.
