Iran Casualty Count Obscured by Internet Blackout; HRANA Estimates 1,407 Dead Including 214 Children

Iran's true casualty toll remains unverifiable as a nationwide internet blackout prevents independent documentation. The government last reported ~1,200 civilian deaths on March 8. Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates 1,407 civilian deaths including 214 children. Iranian Red Crescent reports 61,555 homes damaged, 275 medical centers destroyed, and nearly 500 schools damaged. Authorities are threatening and arresting people attempting unauthorized internet access to share information abroad.
