Iranians Topple Khamenei Statues and Regime Monuments Across Multiple Cities as Country Divided

Across Iran, videos circulated on social media showing crowds toppling statues and monuments dedicated to Supreme Leader Khamenei and Islamic Republic founder Khomeini in cities including Dehloran (Ilam province), Galleh Dar (Fars province), Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Karaj. In Dehloran, protesters torched the governorate building while others knocked down a Khamenei statue; in Galleh Dar, a monument to Khomeini was pulled down at a burning roundabout. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of regime supporters gathered in Tehran's Revolution Square chanting 'Death to America' — exposing a deep societal fracture as Iran simultaneously experiences grief and celebration over Khamenei's death.
