The Iranian judiciary spokesman, Asghar Jahangir, announced detailed estimates of the material losses incurred during the protests that swept the country in late December. According to the report from the Lawyers Center affiliated with the judiciary, substantial damage was reported across multiple provinces, with specific figures highlighting the impact on security and civil infrastructure. The damages include significant losses to police stations, banks, ATMs, public transport, and other state property, underscoring the severity of the protests.

Specific numbers reveal extensive destruction: 749 police stations, 750 bank branches, and 600 ATMs were reported vandalized. There were also 350 ambulances and buses, 50 fire trucks, and 253 bus stations affected. Additionally, the damage extended to private properties, with estimates suggesting that 350 mosques, 300 residential units, and 700 local shops suffered considerable losses. The estimated total loss to the infrastructure across 21 cities reached a staggering 10 trillion tomans, reflecting a critical situation for local economies and public services.

The breakdown of losses by province indicates that Gilan province experienced the most significant impact, with damages estimated at 10 trillion tomans. Other provinces, including Isfahan, Alborz, Tehran, and Fars, reported losses in the thousands of billions, pointing to a widespread crisis potentially leading to long-lasting economic and social repercussions. This assessment will likely inform future government responses to civil unrest and societal grievances in Iran, signaling the need for profound discussions regarding the underlying issues prompting such widespread discontent.
