West Hiding Iran Truth? Thousands of Iranians Rally In Favour of Khamenei, Islamic Republic

11 Jan 2026 | Tens of thousands of Iranians poured onto the streets in a dramatic show of loyalty to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, countering days of anti-regime unrest across the country. State television broadcast images of flag-waving crowds chanting pledges to defend the Islamic Republic, framing the demonstrations as a stand against chaos rather than dissent. The rallies come as pressure mounts from Washington, with U.S. President Donald Trump warning Tehran against using force on protesters. Iranian officials have rejected the accusations, blaming foreign interference for inflaming tensions. The scenes underscore Iran’s deep internal divide—and the regime’s ability to mobilise mass support at a critical moment.
