Human chain for Iran in Washington, DC

National Guard trooops on the National Mall watch as Iranian-Americans pass en route to the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on March 14, 2026. Demostrators formed a human chain around the reflecting pool in a demonstration of support for a free, democratic, and secular Iran. National Guard troops were deployed to D.C. to fight what U.S. President Donald Trump falsely called a record crime wave, but have patrolled tourist-heavy locations where crime was already low.
