WATCH: Iran’s Islamic Republic flag taken down at Iranian Embassy in London, UK, replaced with royal flag
A dramatic symbolic moment unfolded in London after the flag of Iran’s Islamic Republic was taken down at the Iranian Embassy in London and replaced with the pre-1979 Lion and Sun flag, associated with Iran’s monarchy before the Islamic Revolution.
The Lion and Sun flag is widely seen by Iranian opposition figures as a symbol of national identity free from clerical rule. Its appearance at Iran’s diplomatic mission comes amid growing unrest, sustained protests, and increasing international pressure on the Tehran regime, as dissent continues both inside Iran and across the Iranian diaspora abroad.
