Participants in a solidarity demonstration supporting protests in Iran gather in the Main Market Square on January 15, 2026, in Krakow, Poland. Since December 28, 2025, large-scale protests occur across the Islamic Republic of Iran against the regime and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been in power since 1989. The unrest begins with a strike by shopkeepers in Tehran's bazaars. Initially driven by severe economic hardship, years of high inflation, and unemployment, the protests gradually draw in additional social groups and evolve into nationwide demonstrations against the regime. The ayatollahs respond with a violent crackdown. It is estimated that at least 2,500 protesters are killed, with some sources reporting figures as high as several thousand. Thousands more are imprisoned, and the government cuts off internet access nationwide, severely hampering organization and access to information. The United States issues statements warning of a possible military intervention. These protests are widely regarded as among the largest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

14 December 2025

Poland's President Karol Nawrocki speaks as he takes part in the 44th anniversary of the imposition of martial law in Warsaw, Poland, on December 13, 2025. The Martial Law, imposed by the Military Council for National Salvation (WRON) on December 13, 1981, led by then Prime Minister General Wojciech Jaruzelski, is lifted on July 22, 1983. The aim of the government of the Polish People's Republic is to drastically restrict everyday life by introducing martial law and a military junta in an attempt to counter political opposition, in particular the Solidarity movement.
