Activists plan to protest at Pasteur Square in Tehran from 15:00 Dec. 6. Protesters are calling on the Iranian government to fulfill its promise of retaliating against Israel's Oct. 26 strikes. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the affected area. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the affected area Dec. 6. Leave the area at the first sign of violence.
On Oct. 26, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out Operation Days of Repentance, striking 20 targets, mainly military locations, in Iran. The IDF claimed it was retaliating against Iran's earlier missile attack against Israel Oct. 1. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed that Iran will respond to the Israeli strikes.
