Did Iran kill 40,000 citizens during the 2025-2026 protests?

Analysis Reasoning

The post claims the Iranian regime murdered 40,000 citizens for protesting and that patriots are now showing greater support. Multiple sources confirm mass killings during the 2025-2026 Iranian protests, with death toll estimates ranging from thousands to around 36,500, making the 40,000 figure a reasonable approximation of higher-end reports. No search results confirm or refute the claim of increased protests ('greater show of support'), but the massacre claim is well-supported.
