According to a report from the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) on December 5, the human rights organization Human Rights Activists in Iran and its media network HRANA confirmed that during the protests that began in late December, 35 people were killed and more than 1200 demonstrators were detained across 88 cities in Iran, covering 27 out of 31 provinces.
According to HRANA data, authorities used force against protesters, especially in smaller towns, which sparked a new wave of discontent in major cities such as Tehran and Mashhad. Students from at least 17 universities joined the protests, forcing security forces to conduct raids on educational institutions. These protests have become the largest since 2022, when public outrage was triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by the "morality police".
The Iranian authorities have no intention of forgiving the protesters
Of the 35 deceased, 29 were protesters, four were children, and two were security personnel. Earlier, there were reports of a case where a 21-year-old member of the paramilitary Basij, subordinate to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed during a protest in Kuhdasht. Reports indicate that security forces used weapons to disperse the rally, and in response, protesters began throwing stones.
On January 5, the Iranian judicial system announced that it would not show leniency to those detained during the protests. In 2025, nearly two thousand people were executed in Iran, which is double the figures from the previous year.
The Times: Khamenei considers fleeing to Moscow
According to the British newspaper The Times, 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may leave Tehran if the army and security forces stop obeying orders and begin supporting the protesters. This "Plan B" is intended for him and his closest associates, including his son Mojtaba.
Former Israeli intelligence officer Benny Sabti, who left Iran after the Islamic Revolution, believes that Khamenei could find refuge in Moscow, as "there is no other safe place for him," citing the example of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's flight to Moscow before the fall of Damascus.
