Five Jews have been murdered in Iran in recent weeks amid the nationwide protests against the Ayatollah regime in Tehran, Channel 14 reported on Sunday.

The exact circumstances of their deaths remain unclear. According to the report, the victims may have been participating in the demonstrations and were murdered there. Another possibility is that they were caught in the regime’s brutal, indiscriminate crackdown, which has included widespread shooting in the streets.

A list circulating on Sunday afternoon named five Jews rumored to have been killed, with at least four of the entries containing verified personal details, including full names.

The victims reportedly include a 32‑year‑old father, his 29‑year‑old wife, a 25‑year‑old relative, and a 15‑year‑old child. All were said to have been killed in the streets of Tehran.

Earlier in the day, The New York Times reported that on Friday, January 9, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered security forces to show “no mercy” and to kill protesters. His directive was to crush the demonstrations at any cost and by any means necessary.

Since that order, the death toll in Iran has surged dramatically. Reports now estimate that at least 36,000 protesters have been killed—an extraordinarily high number by any measure.
