Tens of thousands gather at Berlin\u2019s Brandenburg Gate demanding a democratic republic in Iran and rejecting both monarchy and clerical rule \u2013 Feb 7, 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Berlin, February 7, 2026 \u2014<\/strong> In sub-zero conditions on Saturday, tens of thousands of people assembled at Berlin\u2019s Brandenburg Gate<\/strong> to commemorate the anniversary of Iran\u2019s 1979 anti-monarchy revolution and to express solidarity with ongoing protests inside Iran. Event organizers noted that some attendees and speakers participated remotely after severe weather disrupted travel plans. Throughout the program, speakers delivered a unified political message: rejecting both the legacy of the Shah<\/a> and the current clerical establishment, expressing confidence in the resistance\u2019s organizational capabilities \u2014 particularly the PMOI<\/a>-affiliated Resistance Units<\/a> \u2014 and advocating for a transition grounded in the National Council of Resistance of Iran\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
