The Kurdish human rights organisation Hengaw has not published its eighth report since Day 25 (24 March). The organisation had documented the war's civilian toll through seven reports at roughly five-day intervals, producing figures consistently three to four times higher than the Iranian government's official count.
At the documented pace from Days 20 to 25 (approximately 250 additional deaths per five-day period), the projected toll would now be approximately 7,300 to 7,800. The official figure remains at 1,9371. The silence could indicate restricted information access inside Iran, a methodological review in a complex warzone, or operational disruption of Hengaw's network. The cause is unknown, but the gap between Iran's official count and independent tracking was already the widest of any active conflict.
