This video, credited to filmer Niyak Ghorbani, shows demonstrators outside Iran’s embassy in London chanting slogans and in a dramatic moment a protester climbs onto the embassy balcony and tears down the official Iranian flag, replacing it with a pre-revolutionary design symbolizing resistance to the Islamic Republic amid clashes with police.

The scene reflects solidarity with nationwide anti-regime protests in Iran, which began on December 28, 2025, driven by economic collapse and broader political discontent. These demonstrations have since spread across all provinces of Iran and to cities around the world, drawing diaspora support and renewed calls for change.

Latest reporting shows the unrest entering its second week with continuing crackdowns by Iranian authorities, including internet and communications blackouts, and dozens of reported deaths and thousands detained, as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vows to resist pressure.
