Iran: Iran protests rage Jan 2026 from Tehran Grand Bazaar to 111 cities, chanting “Death to Khamenei,” “Long live Shah” – 2000+ dead in 48hrs per Iran International amid total internet blackout. Economic meltdown (70% inflation, Rial freefall) fuels merchant-student fury; regime arrests 10K+, blocks Starlink. Trump promises “action,” Israel PM tweets Persian support – will revolution topple 47-year theocracy.?
As of January 13, 2026, Iran’s streets are ablaze with the largest protests since 1979 with over 648 demonstrators killed in a brutal government crackdown, according to US-based rights group HRANA. What started as economic fury over skyrocketing inflation (up to 70%) and a crashing rial (now at 994,000 per USD) has snowballed into calls for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s downfall with chants like “Death to the dictator” echoing across 186 cities. US President Donald Trump amps up threats, saying he’s eyeing “very strong” military options like strikes on security forces, while claiming Iran wants talks. A near-total internet blackout hides horrors but leaked videos show body bags piling up and drones hunting protesters. Fresh X posts reveal public outrage, with over 10,600 arrests and fears of mass executions for “enemies of God.” This could end the 45-year clerical rule or spark wider war—here’s the simple breakdown of why Iranians revolt, Trump’s role and what’s at stake for global oil and power.
Details & Context
Protests erupt Dec 28, 2025 at Tehran Bazaar – economic heart strikes first, spreading to Qom, Isfahan, Zahedan by Jan 10. Unlike 2022 hijab marches, this hits wallets: 40-70% inflation, sanctions bite after June 2025 Israel war nuked facilities. Shops shut, students join Khomeini Square yelling “No Lebanon, no Gaza – Iran first.!” – Reza Pahlavi urges strikes, referendum.
Govt flips script: $7/month aid too late; calls protesters “US-Israel agents,” live fire kills dozens daily – HRANA counts 16 early deaths, now 500+. Internet kill-switch fails vs smuggled Starlink videos of hospital piles, street battles viral on X (100K+ #IranProtests). Pezeshkian offers economic talks but security crushes on.
History repeats 1979 bazaar revolt ousting Shah; now anti-cleric twist eyes Pahlavi return from US exile. X trends: “Iran revolution live” 500K views, merchants back it pan-class.
Iran’s 2026 protests exploded on December 28, 2025, starting as strikes in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar against crushing economic woes—inflation at 40-70%, the rial in freefall and basics like food or rent unaffordable for millions. Quick as wildfire, it spread to all 31 provinces with crowds burning Khamenei’s posters and demanding an end to theocratic rule that began in 1979’s Islamic Revolution. Women and youth lead, ripping hijabs in defiance, echoing 2022’s Mahsa Amini movement but bigger—now it’s about survival, not just rights.
Security forces hit hard: Live bullets, tear gas, close-range shots kill hundreds with HRANA verifying 648 deaths (496 protesters, 48 security, including 9 kids) and over 10,600 arrests. A 4-day internet blackout (over 84 hours) blocks coordination and hides killings but Starlink leaks videos of morgues overflowing with 180+ bodies in Tehran alone. Drones track crowds, bodies buried at dawn to dodge IDs, streets cleaned of blood overnight.
Khamenei calls protesters “vandals pleasing Trump,” blaming US/Israel plots and declares 3 days of mourning for “martyrs” (security forces). Attorney General brands them “enemies of God,” facing death penalty. Pro-regime rallies drew thousands on January 12 but protests rage on.
Trump’s angle: After Maduro’s Venezuela capture, he warns of strikes on forces killing protesters, briefed on options like targeted airstrikes or cyber ops. He claims Iran called for talks, tired of “being beat up” but vows action if needed.
Iran retorts: Attack us and US/Israeli bases become targets—Parliament speaker warns of “unforgettable lesson.” Israel’s PM speaks Persian to back protesters; US on high alert.
History adds layers: US overthrew Iran’s 1953 democratic PM for oil, backing Shah till 1979 revolution brought Khamenei-style rule—now against clerics amid sanctions and mismanagement.

X engagement: 300% spike “Iran revolution 2026” – reels predict collapse. Geopolitics flip: Oil, nukes at stake.
Iran’s uprising could shatter the regime but risks war. Economically, strikes and blackouts deepen 40-70% inflation crisis, shortages—families skip meals, boosting desperation and exodus.
Human toll: Thousands jailed, facing torture or hanging for protesting—women/youth suffer most with injuries.
Geopolitically, US hints at strikes could topple clerics but invite attacks on bases, spiking oil prices and regional instability. Positively, success brings freedom; failure hardens repression, more executions. Global: Refugee waves, oil market chaos; Trump’s moves test alliances, risking “loot” over democracy. Social media amps awareness—X posts get millions of views, pressuring leaders. Long-term: Inspires change but could lead to civil war or foreign loot.
Conclusion
Iran protests 2026 signal Khamenei endgame – bazaar revolt, Starlink defiance expose cracks no blackout hides. People fight dual villains: theocracy + past US meddling (1953 Ajax) – true change needs internal win, not Iraq 2.0. Watch Jan 13-20 strikes decide fate.
