Nationwide rallies are being held in support of Iran and its leadership.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the authorities have brought the situation with the anti-government protests under control.

Protests in Iran began at the end of December 2025 following the devaluation of the local currency, the Iranian rial. The main focus of the protests initially was the sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate and their impact on wholesale and retail prices.
