Social-media images and messages circulating on Saturday night, January 10, 2026 (20 Dey)—described by the sender as from Punak, Tehran—suggest continued street activity on Day 14 of Iran’s “Freedom Revolution.” The source said the final image was a reaction to government forces filming with drones, and separate reporting from the Geisha area also mentioned drone flights. If confirmed, the uptick in drone sightings would signal tighter aerial surveillance compared with previous nights, potentially aimed at mapping crowds, identifying organizers, and deterring gatherings as weekend mobilization continues.
A large crowd of Iranians in the UK rallied on Saturday, January 10, 2026 (20 Dey 1404), outside the Islamic Republic’s embassy in London in support of Iran’s nationwide protests.

Iran’s regular army (Artesh) said in a statement it is working alongside other armed forces under Ali Khamenei’s command to “safeguard strategic infrastructure and public property” during the ongoing protests. The language points to a broader security posture and tighter coordination across Iran’s armed institutions, suggesting authorities are moving to reinforce control over key sites as demonstrations continue.
Julia Klöckner, President of Germany’s federal parliament, said in a video posted on Instagram that Iranian women and men are demonstrating “against their political leadership,” because they “want to live free” and are demanding basic rights.

Klöckner stressed that political leadership has a duty to protect its people—not execute them.
Iran’s state-linked Mehr news agency reported a sudden and sharp rise in prices for key staples. According to the report, a tray of eggs (about two kilograms) surged from 285,000 tomans to 480,000 tomans within a week, while chicken rose from 169,000 tomans per kilogram to a peak range of roughly 230,000–300,000 tomans by the end of last week. The jump underscores intensifying cost-of-living pressures feeding public anger and raising the economic stakes for policymakers as protests continue.
