Iran marked the 45th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution with mixed reactions domestically and abroad. In Tehran, some citizens displayed defiance against the regime, with actions such as hanging an Israeli flag over a pedestrian bridge and chanting "death to the Islamic Republic," signaling a shared struggle against Islamist rule. This act of solidarity with Israel underscores a significant sentiment among some Iranians against the current regime. Meanwhile, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi participated in the anniversary celebrations, which were met with chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," reflecting the government's stance. Abroad, in London, an Iranian patriot faced violence at an anti-Israel protest for displaying a sign advocating for peace with the message "For peace, call Yahya Sinwar." These events highlight the complex sentiments surrounding the anniversary, with some Iranians expressing resistance to the regime's authoritarian rule and others participating in state-organized celebrations.
