This is not an official count. It's some officials speaking through anonymity with their own personal estimates

  *purported officials I am very skeptical tbh seeing all this unfold. The propaganda push from media over this is off the charts on this. A counter-perspective on these figures and their sources : https://x.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/2017089536686211440#m https://x.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/2017089536686211440#m https://xcancel.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/2017089536686211440#m https://xcancel.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/20170895366862114...

    The Grayzone is also a propaganda outlet, for the other side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone

The article contradicts what you said. It cites "two [unnamed] senior officials" and then goes on to say: > The 30,000 figure is also far beyond tallies being compiled by activists methodically assigning names to the dead. The official government estimate is still 3,117 btw. The truth is we'll likely never know for sure the real number and any outlet reporting anything else without qualifications is being dishonest.

  That was 4 days before the link I posted. That said it's been pointed out to me that my link is statements by anonymous government officials, which is not the same thing as "official Iranian government numbers".
