During a meeting with ambassadors of other states on January 12, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that the authorities had taken control of the situation with the protests that broke out in early 2026 in the country.

On January 23, Araqchi confirmed the deaths of more than 3,000 people as a result of the riots. He noted that the majority of the dead — 2,427 people — were civilians and law enforcement officers. Another 690 dead, according to the authorities, are members of armed groups.

Statements by Western media about 30,000 dead during protests in the Islamic Republic were refuted on January 25 by the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Bagai. He noted that such actions are truly cruel.
