Gathering Near The Iranian Embassy In Paris

People gather near the Iranian embassy in Paris, France, on January 12, 2026, to support mass rallies denouncing the Islamic republic in Iran. At least hundreds of protesters are killed in Iran's biggest movement against the Islamic republic in more than three years, as warnings grow that authorities are committing a "massacre" to quell the demonstrations. The protests, initially sparked by anger over the rising cost of living, now become a movement against the theocratic system in place in Iran since the 1979 revolution and have already lasted two weeks.
