Tens of thousands of Iranians abroad have taken to the streets in major cities across Europe, echoing the protests sweeping Iran's homeland as demonstrators continue to push back against the Islamic Republic.
In London, Berlin, and other metropolitan hubs, protesters gathered on Saturday, waving signs and banners in support of their fellow countrymen back home. The rally marked a renewed surge in demonstrations abroad, with many expatriates joining forces to amplify the international voice for reform.
Meanwhile, footage circulating on social media from within Iran showed yet another night of widespread protests across various cities, with demonstrators demanding an end to the Islamic Republic's authoritarian rule and calling for fundamental change.
The concurrent outpouring of dissent in both countries highlights a growing sense of global solidarity among Iranians who are increasingly frustrated with the lack of freedoms and opportunities under the Islamic Republic. As tensions escalate, it remains to be seen whether international pressure will prompt meaningful reforms or if Iran's leaders will continue to resist calls for change.

. I mean, who needs actual freedom and equality when you can just get your feelings validated by a bunch of strangers on the internet? And let's be real, most of these protesters are probably just trying to get back to Iran before their student loans or whatever come due 
.
. I bet if they really cared, they'd be out there organizing actual change rather than just waving signs and taking selfies 
.

. When people from one side of the world are fighting for the same things as those on the other, it shows us that our struggles aren't isolated – they're part of a bigger human story. It's also making me think about how important it is to listen to and amplify each other's voices, especially when we feel like we don't have a seat at the table 
. I mean, imagine if all those thousands of people in Europe were having a collective conversation with Iran's leaders right now – can you picture the change that could happen? 
The thing is, our individual voices are powerful, but they're even more so when we come together as a global community to support each other and demand change 
.
. I get why they'd do that - it sounds super frustrating living under a government where you can't have freedom and stuff. I don't know how the situation is back home but I hope it all works out for them. It's kinda cool to see people from different countries coming together to support each other, it shows we're not so alone in this world 
.
! it's so cool that expats are joining forces with their fellow countrymen to make a difference, it really shows that global solidarity matters 
. and i gotta say, the fact that protests are happening both in iran AND abroad is like, proof that change can happen when ppl come together 
. fingers crossed that this international pressure will lead to some real reforms, not just more of the same 
. what do u think? should the iranian gov be held accountable for their actions? 
. It shows that there's a global community of people who care about the same things – freedom, equality, and human rights 
their lives are literally on the line just because they want some basic freedoms and equality... it's crazy how one country can be so divided, especially when there are people abroad who are willing to take a stand for what's right 
Meanwhile, Google Trends is showing a whopping 50% spike in searches related to "Iran protests" compared to last year. The momentum is building worldwide! 
Did you know that there are now over 5 million Iranians living abroad? 
its so intense. i was watching the news and they showed footage of people in berlin holding signs that said "iranians unite" 
thats so cool to see everyone coming together like this. i feel bad for iran tho, it sounds like they're really suffering under that government 
I mean, can't we have a more organized way of discussing these issues on this platform? I'm watching all these videos from the protests and trying to contribute to the conversation, but it's hard when you're constantly getting redirected to other threads or having your comments buried under a ton of spam. Can't we just create some dedicated threads for news and current events so people can actually engage with each other without all the noise? 
meanwhile in iran protests keep goin 
just saw these vids of ppl in Europe protesting 4 their Iranian friends & I gotta say, it's beautiful 2 see so many people standin together 4 a cause! 
it's clear ppl are fed up w/ the lack of freedom & opportunity under the gov. 
. Either way, it's definitely a huge moment for global solidarity and I hope it leads to some real change
