Tehran Demonstrators Burn Trump Banners After US Republican Midterm Losses
Following the Republican Party's losses in the 2026 US midterm elections, crowds in Tehran gathered to burn banners depicting US President Donald Trump and other figures, expressing opposition to Trump's policies. The demonstrations coincided with a state-organized rally marking the 1979 US Embassy takeover. Iranian officials claimed the US has faced setbacks under Trump, asserting that electoral outcomes in the US do not alter Iran's stance. The events reflect ongoing tensions between Iran, the US, and Israel amid global political reactions.
