'2000 dead' but Khamenei remains in power: Pro-govt. rallies sweep across Iran defying U.S & Israel

Massive pro-government rallies have erupted across Iran as tens of thousands flood the streets of Tehran and other cities, pushing back against U.S. and Israeli pressure amid weeks of unrest. While anti-government protests over economic collapse and political repression continue, regime supporters are accusing foreign powers of fueling chaos and destabilization. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised the rallies as a warning to Washington, even as international tensions rise and the Trump administration signals that military options remain on the table. With protests, counter-protests, and global threats colliding, Iran now stands at a dangerous crossroads that could reshape the region.
