You're correct. I think it was a typo.

Not a typo, just a poorly worded headline. The executions in 2025 surged to 1639. And theyre not slowing down as theyve sentenced 4 protesters to death this year.

No, it isn’t. The 2025 execution number is past tense. It already hit the number back in December 2025. It’s a poorly worded and misleading headline.

mucus-fettuccine 4 days ago +2
Oh, I thought he meant the 2025 executions are not slowing down. I misread it. The issue with the comment is the "this year", making it seem like this year is adding onto the number from last year. 4 new executions are very recent news, and not this year's total I assume.

Execution Statistics for 2026 As of mid-April 2026, the following figures have been reported: Verified Executions: At least 145 people are confirmed to have been executed between January and early April 2026. Reported but Unverified: Some human rights groups, such as Iran Human Rights, have received reports of an additional 400+ executions that they are currently working to verify. Monthly Breakdown: January 2026 saw a particularly high volume, with at least 341 registered executions, continuing a trend of high monthly tolls that began in late 2025.

Agreed. In order to affect the 2025 executions at this point one would pretty much need a time machine, and instead of using it to to eliminate another poor Iranian protestor or wrestler it would be much better employed to make sure this headline was never written.

I think individually these judicial executions are worse than killing a protester on the street, because it requires far more intent from the state actors.

No. Just like police shootings don't count toward Texas' number of prisoners executed this year. The article is about people being formally sentenced to death, not about how many people have died in Iran in general.

Iirc, the official number the IRGC released was like 3.6k or something, and the 35k+ comes from hospital data that was produced from a health organization in Iran. That’s where the figure comes from.

Yeah, we had it under control until Trump blew up the deal Obama made because reasons. Trump said we obliterated the nuclear abilities in "midnight hammer'. He says he wants their oil. This was never about nuclear proliferation, it was a cash grab and to help Israel.

>Yeah, we had it under control until Trump blew up the deal Obama made. Your insane if you actually believe they stopped. There are many more than just this too In reports released in 2016 and 2017, German intelligence highlighted the following: Quantitative Increase: The 2016 report noted that Iran’s "clandestine" procurement activities remained at a "quantitatively high level" even after the deal was signed. Targeting Nuclear Tech: In 2015 alone (the year the deal was finalized), North Rhine-Westphalia’s intelligence agency recorded 141 attempts by Iran to obtain technology for proliferation purposes. Roughly 90% of these were linked to nuclear or missile programs. >Trump said we obliterated the nuclear abilities in "midnight hammer'. He says he wants their oil. Trump says all kinds of things and I'm sure he would like a bunch of free oil. The nukes are the only thing that stopped a deal during the cease fire Also, they're nuclear enrichment was destroyed and their storage was collapsed underground. But they could still dig that up in the future and they can rebuild enrichment facilities. This war is most definitely about nukes. You can even say it's for Israel because Israel doesn't want them to have nukes and you can say it's for Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia doesn't want them to have nukes. America also does not want them to have nukes. .

I [trust](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BW9015qzX3A) our intelligence agency this year over some old ass reports, but you do you. I don't want them to have nukes, but bombing little kids and civilian infrastructure isn't doing that and is sick.

This is not true. You clearly aren't in the US, especially not a blue area. It's embarrassing. People have adopted the regime flag as a protest symbol against Trump.

You are not understanding what I am saying then. I am all for protesting the war and criticizing the decision to start it. If you can't understand the nuance between opposing Trump and being pro Iranian government, you shouldnt be participating in politics. And there are certainly too many people cheering on the Iranian regime now. Let's put it another way: hating the war is different than rooting for America to lose and Iran to gain dominance over the region and spread its violence further.

We have been raised to believe we have to pick a side, that every Hollywood movie needs a pro/antagonist. There are moments in life when the fight is not good vs evil. Like when the super bowl was pats/eagles and you just wanted bane to implode the stadium. tl;dr: this war needs a puppy bowl to distract us

The truth many young people don’t understand is that there’s a ton of “bad” in every country, culture, group of people on the planet. Reality is rough. So it’s *really* important to dissect and analyze the bad in the both sides, compare them, and make a value judgement. One side (America, in this case) can be awful but still be vastly in the right compared to the other.

America isn't "vastly in the right", they attacked Iran under a pretense that a lot of higher ups have said was entirely false/fabricated. Anyone else bombs a school they'd be called terrorists, but apparently because America did it it's all ok

At least one of the pretenses is verifiably true and factual: Iran does possess hundreds of kilos of near-weapons grade uranium and has been working toward this for a decade now. There’s no other reason to have the uranium enrichment level that they have and they confirmed the amount with IAEA.

So because America has spent the last, oh I dunno, 60 years being terrorists in the Middle East and globally, stealing oil, and god knows what else, that should give ample justification for 9/11.

from Google AI: Based on the most recent reports from the United Nations and Amnesty International for 2025, this is the ranking of countries with the highest number of confirmed executions: Iran: At least 1,639 executions (the highest figure in 35 years). Saudi Arabia: At least 356 executions (a record high for the country). Iraq: A significant and increasing number, surpassing the 90 executions recorded the previous year. United States: 47 executions (the highest figure in 16 years). Yemen: Dozens of executions recorded (at least 38 in 2024). Somalia: At least 24 executions. Singapore: At least 17 executions. Egypt: Maintains consistent figures, although with a reduction compared to previous years (13 people were executed in 2024). Kuwait: A significant increase was reported in the first nine months of 2025. Afghanistan: Public executions in sports stadiums have been reported, although an exact total is not available. **Drug Offenses: These have been the main driver of the increase in countries such as Iran (47% of its cases)** and Saudi Arabia (78% of its cases). State Secret: If estimates from China were included, this country would rank first with thousands more executions than the rest of the world combined. Methods: The use of nitrogen asphyxiation has expanded in the United States, generating international controversy.

You’re a f****** idiot. This war was poorly planned and executed. Strategically the US and Israel failed to secure their vulnerabilities. Tactically, they didn’t bother with planning and follow up. No one deserved to get it than Iran, but the way it was done was f****** stupid, a 5 year old would’ve planned it better. The US started to fund and bolster separatist movements, and could’ve supplied weapons and supplies for a real democratic movement, but they went in half assed and got shown their incompetence.

His motives are as transparent as they are shitty.
