Iranian protesters took to the streets of Tehran on December 29, 2025, as new videos circulating online documented strikes and demonstrations in the Iranian capital.
The footage, shared by Manoto TV and Iran International, shows crowds chanting slogans that directly challenge the Islamic Republic’s leadership and its regional priorities.
In the videos, protesters can be heard chanting: “Palestine and Gaza, sacrifice both for Iran,” as well as “This is the year of bloodshed, Seyyed Ali [Ali Khamenei] will be toppled.” One clip appears to show security forces retreating and fleeing as demonstrators advance, highlighting the intensity of the unrest and the apparent loss of control by regime forces on the ground.
