Tehran's Tank Man: A Tiananmen moment

Dec 29, 2025, 15:34 GMT+0Updated: 08:49 GMT+0

A video shared with Iran International showed one protester sitting in the middle of a street in Tehran and refusing to move as motorbike-riding security forces moved in on demonstrators.

The protester was later beaten and forced to leave, another video showed.

The video had sparked some comparisons to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China.
