According to the Iran Human Rights (IHR) group, the number of executions in Iran has reportedly increased, with verified data indicating at least 1,500 executions documented up to the beginning of December in 2025. The group’s reports suggest that the total executions for this period have approximately doubled compared to previous years. These figures are based on verified reports from human rights observers, official statements, and on-ground sources within Iran. The increase in execution rates raises ongoing concerns among international entities regarding the legal and human rights situation in Iran. Despite the lack of official figures disclosed publicly by Iranian authorities, independent organizations continue to monitor and verify cases where available, highlighting issues related to judicial processes and capital punishment practices within the country.
