Anti-regime protests in Iran are growing as shop strikes expanded across Tehran.
More businesses closed today, with demonstrations breaking out around the Grand Bazaar and the Shush market area.
On the afternoon of Monday, December 29, 2025, a massive crowd of demonstrators marched on Jomhouri Street. The demonstrations continued on Naser Khosrow Street, in the Tehran Metro, and at the Istanbul Intersection. Running battles broke out between protesters and the regime’s security forces in the city’s central areas. Near Sepahsalar Garden and under the Hafez Bridge, security forces and thugs loyal to the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, attacked the crowd with tear gas and batons. The people and rebellious youth confronted them, chanting ‘Dishonorable, Dishonorable,’ and, in a bold counter-attack, forced the suppressive forces to flee, writes the NCRI.
The IRGC’s Fars news agency responded: ‘Eyewitnesses have reported to Fars that within a crowd of about 200 people, cells of 5 to 10 individuals were present with slogans that went beyond professional demands. Coinciding with these gatherings, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, called for “the formation of a chain of protests”… An informed source in the Ministry of Intelligence told Fars: “The pattern of small cells present in professional gatherings to give them a radical direction is exactly in line with the enemy’s scenario of destabilizing security. The goal is to turn economic criticism into political instability.”‘
