Iran Displays Ballistic Missiles at Nationwide Rallies Amid Rising Regional Tensions

Since the war began on February 28, 2026, Iran has held nationwide pro-government rallies featuring public displays of ballistic missiles, including the Ghadr, Khorramshahr-4, and Kheibar Shekan. These gatherings, often in major squares like Tehran's Vane and Revolution Squares, showcase military strength amid rising tensions and include anti-U.S. and anti-Israel chants. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Gulf neighbors against facilitating attacks on Iran, threatening disruption of regional oil production if provoked.
