Iranian Police Applaud Protesters as Regime Shows Signs of Cracking

Iran’s Islamic regime is showing visible signs of strain after mass protests erupted in the city of Abdanan.

Videos circulating online show large crowds filling the streets to protest against the regime, with a striking moment as police officers reportedly waved and applauded demonstrators from the roof of a local police station.

The scenes suggest fractures within the security forces as public anger intensifies over economic collapse, repression and corruption.

Activists say the scale of the protest is rare and reflects growing confidence among citizens as unrest spreads across multiple regions. Authorities have not issued an official response.
