Report: Iran Executed 1K This Year, Highest in Three Decades

Pro-Iran narrative

The death penalty and executions in the Islamic Republic are reserved for the gravest offenses, in line with legal provisions under Iran's domestic laws. They are a necessary response to serious criminal activity and national security threats in a region facing unprecedented instability. Nonetheless, Tehran is actively striving to restrict the use of capital punishment, aiming to limit it strictly to cases involving the most serious crimes, reflecting efforts to ensure proportional justice.
