Time magazine, citing two senior officials from Iran's Ministry of Health, has reported that as many as 30,000 people may have been killed during street protests in Iran on just two days, January 8 and 9. According to these sources, the scale of the killings has overwhelmed the government's capacity to transport and bury the bodies, and even the reserves of body bags have run out. This internal figure, which had not been made public before, significantly contrasts with the 3,117 figure previously announced by officials close to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

Time emphasized that it has not independently verified these numbers. However, the reported figures align with data secretly collected by doctors and rescue workers.

This report comes at a time when widespread internet shutdowns and severe restrictions on information continue to hinder access to accurate casualty statistics in Iran.
