Dissidents remove Iranian flag from embassy as thousands protest in UK

Thousands of protesters gathered outside the Iranian embassy in London and across Europe, rallying against Iran's government amid ongoing unrest in their home country. In a symbolic act, a protester in London removed the current Iranian flag from the embassy and replaced it with the pre-1979 lion and sun flag, drawing cheers from the crowd. Demonstrations have erupted in response to rising living costs in Iran, escalating into widespread calls for regime change, with reports of dozens killed and thousands arrested during a harsh crackdown by authorities. European cities including Glasgow, Newcastle, Berlin, and The Hague saw similar rallies, as Iranian expats and supporters expressed solidarity with those facing violence and repression back home. Iranian authorities have responded with threats of severe punishment, ongoing internet shutdowns, and mass arrests, as protests continue to spread across all provinces of Iran.
