The Iranian flag was removed from the building of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in London and replaced with the pre-revolutionary "Lion and Sun". The footage was posted on January 10 by Iran Spectator on the social network X.

The published footage shows how the man replaced the flag in the Iranian diplomatic mission.

It is specified that such a flag is used by protesters in Iran, where a general strike may take place today at the call of the son of the last shah of the country and the opposition leader of the current government, Reza Pahlavi.

On the same day, Pahlavi called on his fellow citizens to take to the streets and start strikes. He explained that now the protesters should have a specific goal — they need to start preparing for the conquest of the central districts of various cities.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on January 9 that the Iranian youth and the entire nation must maintain unity, which will allow them to defeat any enemy. After that, Iran's Supreme National Security Council accused the United States and Israel of organizing unrest in the country.
