ArmInfo. Several dozen citizens held a rally outside the Iranian embassy in Yerevan on the evening of December 11, expressing support for protesters in Iran. According to an ArmInfo correspondent, they held photographs of Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran, who now lives in the United States, and the historical Iranian flag with the "Lion and Sun."
They shouted insults at the current Iranian authorities and repeatedly chanted Pahlavi's name. Large Armenian police forces were deployed to the scene to protect the diplomatic mission and its staff. As a reminder, protests in Iran erupted on December 28 following the collapse of the national currency and the rise in prices for essential goods. Initially a social protest, the protests escalated into riots, the burning of buildings, and the murder of law enforcement officers. Iranian authorities responded harshly to the protests.
The country has had its internet service cut off for the third day. Conflicting reports of those detained and killed in Tehran and other Iranian cities are being released. Amid protests in Iran, the US President threatened to strike the Iranian government if "peaceful protesters" were killed. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote: "The United States of America stands with the brave Iranian people."
In response, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaking to members of parliament on Sunday, January 11, stated that Israel and US military bases would be legitimate targets for Iran in the event of a US attack. Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's former Shah, released a video address, once again calling on the population to take to the streets, declaring his intention to return to Iran.
